Daniela Sea is an artist, an actor and a musician. Her years of wandering, traveling and living in villages and cities in Western and Eastern Europe and Asia have cultivated a way of life and a unique relationship to the world that is undeniable in her eyes when we watch her.

Daniela plays the groundbreaking role of Max in seasons 3, 4, 5 and 6 of “The L Word”. She can also be seen in John Cameron Mitchell’s (“Hedwig and the Angry Inch”) feature film, “Shortbus,” which swept the Cannes Film Festival in 2006, as well as Jamie Babbitt’s (“But I’m a Cheerleader”) “Itty Bitty Titty Committee,” and in Fruit Chan’s “Don’t Look Up”, to be released in 2009. This actor is busy bringing her eccentric life experiences to the screen.

Raised by artist/surfer/hippie parents on the shores of Malibu, Daniela has been surfing since the age of six. Her earliest memories are of the ocean, and feeling a constant calling to lands and ways of life beyond the hills on the horizon.

Daniela left home at age sixteen. She was seeking not only different ways that other people live, but also different ways she could live in the world, even living as a man in India for six months.

She publishes her own books of poetry, speaks Polish, and plays accordion, guitar and penny whistle. Daniela considers Vandana Shiva, Judy Bari and Arthur Rimbaud her role models.

She is currently playing music and co-writing a screenplay for a feature to be shot in 2009.

Her new band, The Thorns of Life, perform at art galleries, libraries and punk house basements on both coasts.
