Danny Woodburn is an entertainer on stage, film, television, and the comedy club circuit.

Born and raised in the Philadelphia area, he is the son of a nurse and a professional golfer. He is a graduate of Philadelphia's Temple University's School of Film and Theater and recipient of their Outstanding Alumni Achievement Award of 2001.

Danny achieved prominence on NBC's sitcom Seinfeld (1989), performing the role of Mickey Abbott, the volatile but lovable friend of Kramer. 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.

Danny is a well-known, long-time advocate for performers with disability in film, television and theatre. He serves on the Performers With Disabilities Committee of SAG-AFTRA, where he not only negotiated better contract terms for disabled actors, but created more opportunities, fought for authentic representation, and increased inclusion and diversity at the studio and network level. His work has changed social perceptions of persons with disability.

  • Trivia
    In his early days in Hollywood, he worked as a stand-in for children, something many little people in the town do. This inspired the plot for the Seinfeld (1989) episode "The Stand-In.".
  • Quotes
    [on Seinfeld (1989) fight scene with Michael Richards] There's this desire, sometimes, to make little men animal like, either patting them on the head, or having them bite. It's dehumanizing. So I try to steer clear of that. But this was different: face-to-face, mano a mano, just two guys who got in a fight.
