Daryl L. Padilla is a Filipino American Actor.

Born in Manila and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, Daryl, a shy kid in his youth, began his acting career when he reluctantly auditioned for a school play. Having landed a leading role, he continued to perform in a handful of high school and community productions.

Daryl went on to participate in acting showcases, receiving an Honorable Mention in Teen Commercial Acting at the iPOP! Talent Convention in 2007, before finally making the move to Los Angeles in late 2013.

He has since been featured in several short films and director reels and has appeared in a number of plays, which include a staged reading of the Sachi Oyama original Pineapple Story and The Wizard of Oz at the LA Little Theater as The Cowardly Lion. In 2015, he starred in the web series "20 Something," a project that he wrote, directed, filmed and edited himself.
