The actor, who belongs to a family of action stars, is part of the lead ensemble cast in Lester Pimentel Ong's latest action-packed series "Incognito," set to premiere on Netflix on Jan. 17.

In response to a question from The Philippine STAR during a mediacon, Daniel shared his excitement about finally exploring and embracing the hard action genre, which after all is rooted in his DNA.

"Nakapag-warm-up naman na kami ni direk Lester (Pimentel Ong) sa 'La Luna Sangre.' Nakasubok na ng konting action doon. Of course, it's very different but iba rin 'to," he said.

Daniel further shared the thrill of executing stunts and the sense of fulfillment that comes with it.

"Simula ng araw mo, adrenaline rush na hanggang gabi. Pagdating mo sa hotel mo, very fulfilling kasi may mga stunts na hindi madadali pero 'pag nagawa namin 'yon, very fulfilling. Kahit papano it's very new for me but masaya (it's fun)," he said.

Daniel said he intends to do this for a long time.
