Since his first appearance on the show in 1994 he has gained speed as an actor and garnered respect from industry professionals. His character on Seinfeld was an important role for him, in the sense that the writing and portrayal of Mickey is positive and non-stereotypical.With acknowledgment and respect given to the late Dr. Steven E. Kopits whose surgical expertise has allowed him to pursue his dream, Danny has raised awareness of the continued derogatory and dehumanizing treatment of Little People in society and the media. Currently he serves on the Screen Actors Guild, Performers With Disabilities Committee.Additionally as an advocate for disabled and Little People issues he has spoken at fund-raisers such as Little People's Reasearch Fund and Cincinatti's Inclusion Network.
