Daniel Gilligan

Artist Bio

Dan’s path to performance wasn’t exactly mapped out for him – growing up in a military family, he became the first in his household to take the creative route. What started as a love for impressions and accents as a kid quickly grew into something more serious, leading Daniel to study acting for three years before graduating in 2017.

Since then, he’s carved out a wonderfully varied career. On screen, he’s known for Doctor Who: Mission to the Unknown, a unique project that faithfully recreated a lost 1960s episode using original-era techniques – a dream gig for any performer with a soft spot for sci-fi.

Beyond acting, Dan has become a trusted voice in the world of motorsport, presenting and commentating for Formula 1 teams at live Grand Prix weekends and in eSports, bringing clarity, excitement and genuine expertise to every broadcast. He’s also hosted podcasts, showcasing his easy charm and natural storyteller’s instinct.

When he’s not behind a microphone, Dan can usually be found with a book in hand, losing hours to gaming, or experimenting in the kitchen. (His ever-expanding cookbook collection is slowly taking over the entire room – and honestly, he’s fine with that.)
