Entering the industry as a teen actor, he definitely had to stand out among a crowd, especially since he starred alongside actors and actresses that began their careers way earlier than him. In “Growing Up,” his first major teleserye role in 2011, he worked alongside the likes of Julia Montes, Neil Coleta, Kiray Celis, and Kathryn Bernardo.

Regardless of the pressure, Daniel brought out an endearing quality to the rebellious Patrick in the teen drama series, and viewers were immediately hooked on his character. As the story progressed and revealed that Patrick has something special with Kathryn’s character Ella, Daniel and Kathryn’s on-screen chemistry brought forth a growing fanbase, which we now know as KathNiel.
