Career

Daulby got his first break after landing the lead role in the award-winning short film "Why Does God Hate Me?" which was featured at the prestigious New York Film Festival as well as at numerous film festivals across North America and around the world.[4][5] His hard work paid off after landing the starring role in the feature film "The Woodcarver," alongside John Ratzenburger,[6][7] and then was tapped to co-star as the corky character in the Leo Award-winning big screen adaptation "Sitting On the Edge of Marlene" - from the short story "The Trouble With Marlene" by award-winning Canadian author, Billie Livingston.[6][8] Daulby's supporting roles on television have included the series Spooksville, and he then featured in a recurring role on the fourth season of Academy Award winning executive producer Steven Spielberg's Falling Skies.[6][9][10] Daulby portrays the ruthless Nazi-esque, yet charming head of the Espheni brainwashing camps, Kent Matthews, on Falling Skies; on the show, he worked closely with Maxim Knight, Noah Wyle, Will Patton, Doug Jones and Colin Cunningham.[11] He also starred in the edgy and intense Canadian horror thriller, Black Fly which was released at international film festivals in 2014.[12][11] Daulby has also co-written, co-directed, and co-produced numerous short films.[6] In November 2015, Daulby was nominated for and won the ACTRA Union of BC Performers (UBCP) award for the best emerging performer for his role in Black Fly.[13] In 2016, he had a guest starring role opposite Academy Award nominatee Djimon Hounsou, in the M.
