| 5 | His parents were Jewish Ukrainians who fled pogroms during the Russian Civil War/Ukrainian War of Independence and settled in Chile. Daniel later settled in France at the age of 25 to study acting, and he would work there for most of his life. He was also a member of the Balachova theatre company, performing in plays of Creator/FedericoGarciaLorca, Creator/WilliamShakespeare, Creator/AntonChekhov and Creator/FyodorDostoevsky. His very unusual gaunt build and face (basically a real life example of LooksLikeOrlok) landed him a variety of supporting roles on film and television, including villains. |

| 7 | He was friends with fellow Chilean Creator/AlejandroJodorowsky. He married French actress Denise Péron (1925-1996), and he is the father of actress and stage director Stéphanie Loïk. Nonetheless, he was openly gay and left Chile to escape the homophobia there. |
