Daniel Jenkins is a well-known face on stage and screen, as well as the Deputy Artistic Director at SRT. Daniel chats to us about how performing is in his genes, why his house is always filled with make-up and sparkles and how he feels any art form is of benefit to children. Daniel shares that he was brought up without a father figure, which is all the more reason why he hopes he has been a good role model for his kids.
