Daniel Ezra

Daniel Ezra is a British actor best known for his starring role as Spencer James on The CW's hit sports drama series, All American. Born on December 15, 1991, in Birmingham, England, Ezra is of Jamaican descent and trained at the prestigious East 15 Acting School at the University of Essex. His early career consisted primarily of British television and theatre work, including the TV film Murdered by My Boyfriend (2014) and recurring roles in dramas like The Missing (2016), Undercover (2016), and Prime Suspect 1973 (2017), as well as a celebrated stage performance as Sebastian in a production of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. His major break came in 2018 when he was cast as the lead in the American series All American, a role based on the life of professional football player Spencer Paysinger. To master the role, which marked his U.S. acting debut, Ezra meticulously developed an authentic American accent without a coach, immersing himself in South Central Los Angeles culture and studying the music and interviews of artists like Nipsey Hussle. He has also appeared in the fantasy series A Discovery of Witches.
