Darren grew up in Richmond, BC Canada where he began studying Karate at the age of eight and received his black belt at the age of 11. He pursued his training through out his highschool and college/post college years and became a Canadian National Champion in both forms and point sparring. His first taste of the film industry was working on the 1995 Feature Film "The Hunted" where he played a ninja along side the stuntmen. From that day on he knew that he wanted to pursue a career in film. After returning from living in Japan for one year(having acquired a fair bit of the Japanese language) he did just that. He has had extensive acting/coaching through the great likes of Andrew McIlroy and Bill Macdonald. Darren decided to seek more accessible opportunities elsewhere and moved to asia in late spring of 2007 where just after a few months he landed his first hosting job for a Business Travel Show for Channel News Asia. He currently resides in Hong Kong where he is studying Mandarin and Cantonese.
