DAPHNE O'NEAL
I am a Los Angeles actor and writer who plays a recurring newscaster in the highly anticipated European limited series Conflict. I shot three TV movies in 2022, playing a doctor with a heart of gold in Bodyguard Seduction for Lifetime and a widowed aunt in Aisle Be Home for Christmas. DC Down, in which I play the US Vice President, is currently available to view on Tubi.
Empathetic and intuitive, I would love to help you rehearse or self tape dramatic or comedic scenes.
I have found amazing rehearsal and self tape partners on this platform and would love to be that great find for you!
Acting roles: Sweet and loving moms, stern law enforcement, vulnerable patients, outright villains from comedy to drama.
