Daniel Lasker

Daniel Lasker is a Zimbabwe born Actor and Filmmaker. His most recent work includes "The Telling Room", a fantasy feature film set for release in 2021, where he portrays the lead character known as the "Magician". He can also be seen in Sir Ridley Scott's new Sci-Fi TV series "Raised By Wolves", on HBO Max. Although primarily an Actor, Daniel is fiercely passionate about telling stories, either from in front of or from behind the lens. Growing up in Zimbabwe (which didn't have an active film industry at the time), he taught himself how to make films, which were well received by the local community and various foreign film festivals. At just 18 years old he was referred to as one of the most promising Zimbabwean Filmmakers. He recently completed shooting his Feature-length Directoral debut in early 2020. He was the Headboy of his High School in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe.
