Daniel Joseph Stier was born in Omaha, Nebraska. He enjoyed performing from a young age and routinely performed for school productions. Daniel's hometown, Blair, has a population of around 8,000 but it still has a very large and active drama community. Doing smaller stage productions, Daniel broke onto the silver screen with Blood Claws in 2016. It was Daniel's meeting of director Dustin Ferguson that drove him to get in front of the camera and get covered in fake blood.
