Career & Fame

2010 turned out to be a great year for the young actor. He started the year appearing in the TV movies ‘At Risk’ and ‘The Front’ which aired in April. He also won an ‘Obie Award’ for his stellar performance in the Off-Broadway play ‘The Aliens’. He followed that up with his movie debut in the American-Filipino drama film ‘Amigo’. All of these helped Dane land his breakthrough role of Jesse D’Amato in the third season of the HBO drama series ‘In Treatment’. His turn as an angry, aggressive, vulnerable, and adopted teenager was applauded by all critics and established him as an actor. In 2011, the actor portrayed Timbo on the TV series ‘True Blood’.

Career & Fame

2017, however, turned out to be a disappointing year for the actor. The movie ‘A Cure for Wellness’ bombed at the box. In the same year, he suffered the biggest commercial flop of his career with ‘Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets’. It was not only critically panned but lead actors Dane DeHaan and Cara Delevingne received severely negative reviews as well. His next venture ‘Tulip Fever’ was unsuccessful as well. He intends to make a comeback with the iconic role of Billy the Kid in the upcoming ‘The Kid’ (2018).
