Francis Danca was born in Constanta, Romania on March 14th, 1989, just months before the Communist government collapsed. The youngest of 4 children, Francis was raised by his mother, Danca Florentina, a former waitress. His father left the family when he turned 1. In 1990, Francis' aunt emigrated from Romania to the United States; Francis remained behind with his mother and his siblings. As a child, Francis played many sports including soccer, martial arts, cycling, basketball, volleyball and fencing, and pursued his interest in acting during high school through roles in school plays and taking in local theater. He was in the process of completing his law degree in Romania when the opportunity for him to come to the United States materialized. His aunt sent for the rest of the family, and they moved in 2011. Reunited after 11 years, Francis, his mother, and his siblings worked to establish a new life in the United States. Francis returned to Romania briefly to complete his law degree before settling permanently in the US. After traveling across the country for 2 years working on large-scale solar energy projects, Francis quit his job to pursue acting. One year later, he made JEZEBEL Magazine's list of 50 Most Beautiful Atlantans (2012) Since then, he has appeared in magazines, calendars, on covers, websites, and acted in lead roles in numerous indie films and commercials. His latest project is Zoe Ever After, a multi-camera comedy series starring and co-executive produced by Brandy Norwood. Francis speaks 3 languages (English, Romanian, Spanish), is a professionally trained Martial Artist and athlete (cycling, soccer, rugby), and plays numerous other sports for fun. He studied for 2 years at Adam Stoner Studios in Atlanta, and for over a year with Robert Mello. Locally, he has volunteered at Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, Shakespeare Tavern, the Atlanta History Center, and the Ice Forum.
