Danica De La Rey

Is a South African actress, storyteller, and creative force. Her work is rooted in truth, resilience, and a rare creative instinct that moves people.. With no formal training but over a decade of lived experience, she has carved a path in the industry through grit, presence, and an undeniable gift for emotional truth. Her performances — whether on international platforms like Netflix (Unseen, Season 2) or in critically celebrated stage productions like The Secret Valley of Great Kings — are marked by an honesty that resonates far beyond the script. Most recently, Danica leads the upcoming South African feature Hunting Jessica Brok — a physically and emotionally demanding role that cements her as a bold, complex force on screen.
