Luke Daniels

reference Luke Daniels pops up in a handful of movies that slipped under most folks' radar, but honestly, that's kind of a shame. You ever watch The Asset? Released in 2021, it's this gritty little action-thriller with a vibe that's a weird mashup of old-school spy flicks and those '90s assassin movies your older cousin probably loved. Daniels doesn’t get tons of screen time, but he’s memorable—brings this sort of simmering tension to the scenes he’s in, like you’re not sure if he’s going to start a fight or just vanish into the background. Then there’s Asking for It, also from 2021. Way more underground, like one of those indie films that makes you uncomfortable in the best way. Daniels is part of this ensemble cast, and the movie’s all about a group of women banding together for revenge after one of them is assaulted. Kind of raw, honestly, and not as slick as some Hollywood stuff, but that’s part of the charm. Daniels plays a guy caught up in the chaos—not a hero, not really a villain, just sort of… there, making things messier. And Under the Silver Lake (2018) is just straight-up bizarre. That’s not a diss, it’s genuinely weird in a way that sticks with you. Daniels’ role is more like a puzzle piece in this sprawling, conspiracy-soaked LA mystery. The movie’s full of coded messages and strange characters, and his bit adds to that off-kilter energy. Honestly, if you’re into movies that make you scratch your head and google fan theories afterwards, this one’s worth the ride. Luke Daniels isn’t a household name, but he’s got this odd knack for picking projects that are anything but boring.
