Born in Vancouver, Canada, Dakota Daulby, 20, discovered his love for acting as a young teen after witnessing the craft at the renowned Canadian acting college, New Image College of Fine Arts, in Vancouver. He got his first break after landing the lead role in the award-winning short film "Why Does God Hate Me?" which was featured at the prestigious New York Film Festival as well as at numerous film festivals across North America and around the world. Dakota, having recently graduated from New Image College, has consistently worked hard to balance his acting career with his schooling. His hard work paid off after landing the starring role in the feature film "The Woodcarver," beside John Ratzenburger, and then was tapped to co-star in the big screen adaptation "Sitting On the Edge of Marlene" - from the short story "The Trouble With Marlene" by award-winning Canadian author, Billie Livingston. This film has since gone on to win the Leo Award and Vancouver International Film Festival Emerging Filmmaker Award for its director, Ana Valine. Dakota also starred in the edgy and intense Canadian horror thriller, "Black Fly" by director Jason Bourque, which is currently playing at International Film Festivals. Dakota's supporting roles on television have included the series "Spooksville", "iZombie", and he was featured in a recurring role on the fourth season of Oscar® winning executive producer Steven Spielberg's "Falling Skies." In addition to acting, Dakota also works as an active screenwriter. His first project, a feature film, is currently in post-production.
