The same year in March, he was cast as a lead role in the American sports drama series All American. This marked his U.S. acting debut and required him to use an American accent. Once he learned that he had received the role, Daniel spent as much time as he could in South Central Los Angeles and carried a football with him everywhere so that he could practice his accent and learn about the local culture.
Additionally, his favorite rapper, Nipsey Hussle, was from Crenshaw. It is the place where the show takes place, so he also studied every song and interview of Nipsey Hussle as a way of practicing his American accent. He did not have an accent coach.
Moreover, Spencer Paysinger, the real-life football player on whom Ezra’s character is based, drove Ezra and his costar Taye Diggs around his local neighborhood so that they could understand the neighborhood dynamics. To prepare for the show, he also watched the NFL network constantly to learn about the rules of American football. He first realized the show was successful when he attempted to walk in Times Square and many fans recognized him.
His inclusion into a show about a popular sports figure is kind of fitting really since he’s been into sports throughout a good part of his life. While basketball and soccer were his initial interests transitioning to a role about a football player isn’t a huge leap.
Other works
He has appeared in several other shows. Some of them are the role of Ghana Jones in The Village in 2014, as Tim in Precipice Hours, in Blood Cells as Thom, in Vera as Cameron Thorne, in No Offence as Ajamu, and in Prey as Alan Gill. Further, he also starred in Undercover as Dan Johnson, in The Missing as Daniel Reed, and in Prime Suspect 1973 as DC Ashton.
