Growing up in Houston, TX, Daniel Lue was always involved in athletics and acting. Daniel trained in the Chinese martial art, Wu Shu Kung Fu, in which he holds a black belt. While attending The University of Texas at Austin, he started bodybuilding. With the help from Arnold Schwarzenegger’s book "Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding", he was able to transform himself from a self described "98 pound weakling" into a bodybuilder.

 

Upon graduating college with a degree in finance, Lue worked as a tax accountant while acting and modeling on the side. Despite being a successful tax accountant, he was bitten by the acting bug and wanted to trade the corporate world for Hollywood. The opportunity came when Lue was selected out of 65,000 applicants to take part in the popular reality show "Survivor: The Amazon".

 

Since moving to Los Angeles, California, Lue studied acting at the famed Beverly Hills Playhouse taught by Milton Katselas. He recently filmed an episode of MTV’s True Life: I’m a Reality TV Star and landed his first major movie role in “Little Hercules in 3-D”. Daniel plays Kintaro, the final boss to challenge Little Hercules to an epic showdown. As a huge pro wrestling fan, Daniel got the chance to work with one of his favorite wrestlers, Hulk Hogan. The movie also stars Judd Nelson, Elliot Gould and The Big Show. He is also the celebrity spokesperson for the "Qi Biomagnetic Bracelet" and published a top selling self-titled 2004 calendar. Lue has stated that the role he wants to play next is "Kato" in the upcoming "Green Hornet" movie.

 

With his desire and passion for acting at work, look for Daniel on the big and small screen in 2006!
