Fan Casting Daniel in Summer Between Us

A 21-year-old photography student at a mid-sized university. He’s somewhat academically driven but socially shy, often overlooked in large social circles. He grew up in a quiet suburban neighborhood and comes home for summer breaks to recharge and work part-time at a local bookstore. Introverted, thoughtful, and quietly observant. He has a natural curiosity about people, often noticing the subtle emotions others try to hide. He is hesitant in new situations but deeply loyal once he opens up.
