Danny Farber

Farber is an actor, director, and producer who was born and raised in Chicago, IL. As a director and producer, Farber has worked with Universal Music Group, Warner Records, Def Jam, Chance the Rapper, Hannibal Buress, and various other companies and brands. Over the course of his career, his projects have garnered tens of millions of views across all social platforms.

As an actor Farber has appeared in film and TV shows for NBC, FOX, Paramount, Lifetime and VetTV. Farber's films have been internationally recognized and has won "Best Director" & "Best Short Film" at various festivals.

He studied film production at DePaul University and trained locally at acting studios around Chicago. Farber's career in entertainment began as a production assistant on indie feature films. He quickly climbed the ranks on set matriculating into the AD department, coordinating, project managing, and eventually full fledged producing. Farber has assistant directed half a dozen feature films & was a staff video producer for iO Comedy Network. When it came time to start directing his own work, he parlayed the connections he made on each project to help build his crews. His directing work has won various awards for his 'zany while refined' directing style.

Farber made his television debut in the Fall of 2018 on the season 7 premiere of NBC's Chicago Fire. Since then he's been working in front of and behind the camera steadily. In the winter of 2019 Farber created and hosted his own late night talk show, filmed in front of a live studio audience with special guests, comedians, musical acts, and puppet co-hosts. His brand is certainly unconventional; approachable and familiar yet wildly unique and offbeat. He has starred in online digital comedy content for The Onion and Cracked. He has directed a handful of high profile vertical dramas for various digital streaming platforms.

Farber continues to make opportunities for himself by creating projects that he can star in.

In addition to filmmaking and acting, Farber is an American singer/songwriter releasing his first EP in the spring of 2025. This five track project entitled "hope to see you there!!" blends his love for classic folks sounds with his upbeat and often boisterous personality creating a signature sound reminiscent of a less talented version of Mumford and Sons. A Mumford and Cousins experience, perhaps. It's available to stream on Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, or wherever you get your music!
