Netflix Movies Starring Danny Hoch
Born and raised in New York City, Danny Hoch (rhymes with rock) attended the High School of Performing Arts where he began his studies in theatre. After studying in London and then working with a high-octane theatre troupe (Creative Arts Team) in NYC's jails and high schools, Mr. Hoch began to develop his unique brand of solo performance or monologues, where he portrays a dozen or so characters of all ages and backgrounds in one piece, usually 90 minutes long. These solo shows eventually became cult classics which were taped for HBO (Some People, 1995) and as a feature film (Jails, Hospitals & Hip-Hop 1998). Five of these tour-de forces have been performed all over the U.S. and the world, as well as other plays written by Mr. Hoch. Mr. Hoch's theatre work has garnered him several awards for both writing as well as performance, including the prestigious Guggenheim Fellowship, 2 OBIE's, a USA Ford Fellowship, a Creative Capital Award, the CalArts Alpert Award in Theatre, and several Sundance Institute Fellowships, where he developed his classic film Whiteboyz (1999), which was developed from a character in Jails, Hospitals & Hip-Hop (1998)_.
