	Actors - Daniela Sea

Daniela Sea (born 1977) is an American musician, performance artist, former circus juggler, and actress.

Sea grew up in Malibu. Her parents were both hippie intellectuals. When she was a child, her father came out as gay. Her stepfather taught her to surf and moved the family to Hawaii so they could enjoy better surfing. Daniela left home at age 16 to join the punk/feminist/artist space Gilman Street Project in San Francisco. She learned improv acting and was in several punk rock bands.

Daniela travelled all over Europe and Asia. She hitchhiked through Turkey, and performed as a fire juggler with a traveling circus in . As a punk rocker, she and her band cross-dressed. At one point in her world travels, she lived in India for eight months ... as a man. "It wasn't something I planned," says the 5' 10", 130 Lb. champion surfer. "It evolved quickly when I realized what freedom I'd have. As a man, I could ask questions and walk around at night. I felt it would give me better access to the culture."

After Daniela returned from Europe, she moved to New York City. She realized she missed acting and "put it out there" that she was interested in roles. She gave an audition tape to a friend who worked on The L Word's writing staff. Sea then got a call at her restaurant job in New York and was asked to fly to Los Angeles for an audition. She was then offered to perform the role of Moira, an androgynous computer technician who moves from the Midwest with Jenny (Mia Kirshner
). Over the course of the season, Moira drastically morphs into Max', a female-to-male trasgender.

Besides The L Word, Sea's filmography also includes the films Shortbus (2006) and Itty Bitty Committee, to be aired in 2007.
