In March 2018, Daniel became cast in a leading role in the American sports drama series All American, which marked his U.S. acting premiere and needed him to use an American accent. Once Daniel learned that he had got the role, he spent as most of his time as he could in South Central Los Angeles and carried a football with him everywhere so that he could rehearse his accent and study the local culture.
His best rapper, Nipsey Hussle, was from Crenshaw, where the show takes place, so Danie also studied every song and interview of Nipsey Hussle as a way of learning his American accent. Daniel did not have an accent coach. He first realized the show was prospering when he tried to walk in Times Square and was known by numerous fans.
