Daniel Booko: Movies & Box Office

Daniel Paul Booko, born October 17, 1983, is an American actor and model whose professional career has been active since 2005. He is best known to television audiences as a main cast member of the Bravo reality series The Valley, where he became a prominent member of the show's central ensemble. Booko's television credits also include roles in The O.C., Hannah Montana, The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, and Desperate Housewives, demonstrating experience across teen drama, family-oriented comedy, and prime-time ensemble series. His feature-film work includes Bratz: The Movie, further expanding his résumé beyond television. At five feet seven inches, he is an actor whose public profile combines conventional casting information with a long-running presence in unscripted television. His work on The Valley is especially significant because it places him within Bravo's reality-television lineup rather than limiting his career to conventional scripted productions. Since beginning his listed professional run in 2005, Booko has built a varied body of work spanning scripted series, a theatrical film, and reality television. His career is therefore distinguished by the combination of mainstream screen credits and a sustained role in one of Bravo's better-known ensemble reality programs.

In his personal life, Booko married beauty pageant titleholder and former Miss USA Nia Sanchez on October 17, 2015, in Temecula, California. The wedding took place on his thirty-second birthday, creating a notable coincidence in the couple's publicly documented biography. Together, they have four children, and Booko's family life has become an important part of his public persona. The couple met at Mosaic Church in California, and both Booko and Sanchez are practicing Christians. Booko is the son of Paul and Bonnie Booko, the founding pastors of Riverside Church in his hometown of Three Rivers, Michigan. Riverside Church is a non-denominational church originally established by his grandfather in 1975, connecting Booko to a multigenerational religious and community legacy. His upbringing around the leadership of Riverside Church and his later connection with Mosaic Church provide additional context for the importance of faith in his life. As an actor and model with television experience dating to 2005, Booko's career encompasses youth-oriented entertainment, dramatic and comedic television, a feature film, and unscripted reality programming. His biography is distinctive not only for his work with Bravo's The Valley, but also for the way it combines a screen career with family, community, and religious affiliations in Three Rivers and Southern California.
