West End star is returning to roots to share his skills

EVERY night Danny Becker sings “some were born to follow, but we were born to lead” in West End musical Operation Mincemeat.

And it seems to be a mantra that 31-year-old Danny lives by after announcing his own theatre school in London.

He is launching Act1Arts in Bushey, Hertfordshire, because going to a local drama group in his youth set him on the path to stardom.

“I grew up in Bushey,” he said.

“I was recalling how much that meant to me as a kid. My whole week would revolve around going to this afternoon group every Wednesday.”
