Daniel Doheny

Daniel Doheny—yeah, that’s the guy who seems to pop up just when you’re looking for a perfectly offbeat, slightly awkward, totally relatable face in a movie. The Package? Classic teen comedy chaos, and Daniel’s right in the thick of it. You know, the kind of film where you’re half-cringing, half-laughing because the situations are so ridiculous but somehow feel like they could actually happen to your friend’s weird cousin. Then there’s Alex Strangelove—honestly, if you missed this one, what were you even doing in 2018? Daniel dives headfirst into this coming-of-age rollercoaster, nailing that vibe of a teenager just trying to figure out who the heck he is, while everything around him goes off the rails in the most hilarious, painfully real ways. Don’t sleep on Drinkwater either. It’s one of those indie gems that sneaks up on you with charm, and Daniel plays Mike with such genuine awkwardness and heart that you kinda want to root for him even when he’s being a total dork. What ties all these roles together? Doheny’s got this knack for making even the strangest, most cringeworthy moments feel honest—like he’s been there, done that, and totally gets it. He’s not your average Hollywood leading man, and that’s exactly what makes him stand out. Whether he’s in over his head or just trying to survive small-town weirdness, Daniel somehow makes you care about the mess.
