I am always amazed at the energy and accomplishments of so many of the men I feature on FH. As I have discussed before, it is extremely difficult, especially for men, to make a living solely as a model. Most have to juggle many things on the road to success. Recently when visiting the portfolio of Chris Teel, whose work regularly featured on FH, I spotted a new image, a shot of 23 year old Daniel Pacheco. I loved Daniel's look. There was both a beauty and an intelligence emitting from his incredible brown eyes that led me to contact him about a feature on the blog.

Daniel grew up in Puerto Rico and attended the Universidad del Sagrado Corazon to study theatre. While there he worked in both theatre and film, including the short film 'La llegada'. One of his most interesting, and unusual jobs was touring with a dog show throughout Venezuela and the Dominican Republic.

About two years ago, Daniel moved to New York to attend AMDA's acting conservatory and graduated this year. After graduation, Daniel decided to take a semester off to work. During this time, he mostly modeled and worked part-time at Armani Exchange in SoHo. Like all actors, this time has also included a lot of auditioning. Daniel was an extra for the web series'Brooklyn is in Love', directed by Danielle Earle, and will return to the series once he returns to New York. Currently, the young actor is Los Angeles finishing his acting BFA at the AMDA campus.

'I started modeling as a hobby, then became passionate about it. I recently bought a camera, so you will hopefully see some of my work behind the lens very soon.'
