Daniel Goddard is an Australian-American actor and model best known for his performances Cane Ashby in CBS’s soap opera The Young and the Restless and as Dar in television drama BeastMaster.

Sydney-born Goddard found a love for acting whilst in the midst of completing a finance degree, later transferring to the Ensemble Actors Studio to pursue his passion. Getting his start on-stage, Goddard proved he had star power and was soon cast in a recurring role in Australia’s long-running soap opera Home and Away, in which he played Eric Phillips. After moving to America, Goddard found work as a model and has appeared in campaigns for Calvin Klein, Dolce & Gabanna and Armani.

In his first screen-role outside of Australia, Goddard starred as Dar in BeastMaster.

A decade after entering the industry, Goddard won his most revered role to date; for thirteen years and over 1,000 episodes, Goddard starred as Cane Ashby in Emmy Award-winning, long-running soap opera The Young and The Restless. Goddard exited the show in 2019, much to the dismay of his many fans.
