hello! i’m mads daily. i’m an actor and writer living in Los angeles.

I moved to New York from Milwaukee, WI, where I grew up running solo spy operations on my block, playing made-up games with my babysitter, and forming secret societies behind garages with my neighborhood friends. I was also in school. The best parts of my week were when I got to go to rehearsal or class at the children’s theater academy downtown. That’s where I fell in love for the first time.

NYU brought me to the city, where I spent time in conservatory training at Stella Adler. During a gap year, I was in the Core at HB Studio. When I returned to NYU the next year, I continued studio training at Adler and focused my liberal arts studies on art history and poetics.

Since finishing university, I’ve been acting in plays, developing projects with friends & fellow artists, making mixed media pieces, and seeing lots of good theater (e.g. Dennis—Written/Directed/Produced by my friend, Aidan La Poche, Prince F*ggot—Studio Seaview, Brothers Size—The Shed, Falcon Girls—Yale Rep, Other People’s Dead Dads—dixon place). What a privilege to be creating/exploring/connecting/reaching/loving at this very moment in time.

I’m currently living in Los Angeles, getting involved with graduate student projects at USC, taking class at Berg Studios, auditioning, and writing.
