Daniel Brocklebank (born 21 December 1979) is an English actor. He received a Screen Actors Guild Award for his performance in the multi-award–winning movie Shakespeare in Love. He also received the Best Actor Award at LesGaiCineMad International Film Festival for his role in Release.
At the age of ten, Brocklebank joined several local amateur dramatic societies with his maternal grandmother and was soon hooked on performing. He took private LAMDA tuition outside of school and gained a teaching qualification in drama. In 1994 he was cast in a children's TV series by Ragdoll Productions called Brum. However it wasn't until 1995, when at 15, Brocklebank was cast as Ralph in an RSC production of Lord of the Flies that his professional career really began. He moved to London in 1996 and trained at Redroofs Theatre School on a post grad, two year musical theatre course. He was allowed to work while he was there to pay off his fees. It was during this time that Brocklebank filmed Merlin and Shakespeare in Love opposite Gwyneth Paltrow and Judi Dench.
Brocklebank is also a self-taught pianist and singer.
From 1994 onwards, Brocklebank has starred in various TV shows such as Down to Earth (BBC), Born and Bred (BBC), Ed Stone is Dead (BBC 3/Channel 4), Casualty (BBC), The Bill (ITV) and played Ivan Jones in ITV's Emmerdale between the beginning of 2005 to the end of 2006. Other TV credits include: The Crazy World of Captain Llama, Fair City, Doctors and Waterloo Road.
