‘American Housewife’s Daniel DiMaggio visits the real Westport
Getting to know Daniel DiMaggio, Oliver Otto from ‘American Housewife’
Source: starsandcelebs.com
Michelle Tompkins: So what’s going on with you these days?
Daniel DiMaggio: I’m just another 15 years old. Just working, huh [laughter].
Michelle Tompkins: Now, where are you originally from?
Daniel DiMaggio: I’m actually from Los Angeles.
Michelle Tompkins: Now, do you have any brothers or sisters?
Daniel DiMaggio: I do. I have one brother and one sister.
Michelle Tompkins: And what do your parents do for a living?
Daniel DiMaggio: They actually came from the industry. My dad’s a writer. My mother is an actress as well. We’re all actually working this week which is nice. It hasn’t been like that for a while so it’s pretty cool. It’s nice having parents from the industry rather than with no experience at all. So it’s nice having them with experience and they know the ways around so it’s kind of cool.
Michelle Tompkins: Are your sibling’s actors too?
Daniel DiMaggio: No. They didn’t touch the industry one bit. It’s kind of funny. They kind of got as far as away from it as possible. I think I remember my brother tried being a PA once and he never wanted to get in front of the camera. I’m not saying no, I don’t think he did it. But he tried doing a PA. He didn’t love it. Too stressful and then he kind of got out and then there was a time where he was working at Craft Service one time and making peanut butter jelly and sandwiches and he was like, I don’t really want to be here and I understood him. So he kind of got out of that. Yeah. I’m pretty much the only one.
Michelle Tompkins: Are you the youngest?
Daniel DiMaggio: Yes.
Michelle Tompkins: When did you know that you wanted to be an actor?
Daniel DiMaggio: I wouldn’t say I ever knew for sure. I think I was around eight years old when I booked my first commercial and that was the first big job I’d ever done then it kind of started to escalate and it got bigger and bigger. The roles got bigger and bigger and then it was kind of crazy. I didn’t know what it was like to be on prime time television every week. It was kind of cool. I saw all these other people doing it. I watched Modern Family for a couple of years before that and I was like, I could be one of these kids and then it all happened which was pretty cool.
Daniel DiMaggio on his first acting job and playing Kal-El
Michelle Tompkins: Now, what was your first paid acting job?
Daniel DiMaggio: If I can remember it was a Honda Accord commercial. A Christmas commercial where I played this kid who was writing a letter to Honda. His name was Pete and he was thanking Honda dealership for getting my dad a new deal on his Honda Accord and it was really cool and yeah. It was really fun. I remember that much. That’s how it all started.
Michelle Tompkins: How old were you?
Daniel DiMaggio: I was eight.
Michelle Tompkins: Oh, wow, and you also played young Superman. How was that? That sounds pretty cool.
Daniel DiMaggio: I did. I did play Kal-El. Yeah, that actually that I guess you could say I’m indented in the DC universe now, huh. It’s kind of cool to be a part of. There’s only so many people that got to play Superman and I was one of them so it’s really cool to be in a league of your own, you know?
Michelle Tompkins: Yeah, it sounds good. Maybe one day you’ll play him again as an older guy.
Daniel DiMaggio: I hope so if Henry Cavill’s okay with that.
Daniel DiMaggio on Oliver Otto from American Housewife
Michelle Tompkins: Now tell me how you got the part of Oliver Otto.
Daniel DiMaggio: I think we all, everyone went through an audition process. I know I did too, and nothing was guaranteed until I think I went in a couple of times maybe and I didn’t really realize how serious it was until the final audition where it was in front of the ABC studio execs, and then I was oh, this is getting serious. And so I guess I just gave them my all, I just did what I did, and it worked.

And so I guess I just gave them my all, I just did what I did, and it worked.
Michelle Tompkins: What do you like best about playing him?
Daniel DiMaggio: I think that I could relate to the kid a lot, definitely the sarcasm. I mean I’ve let go of a lot of sarcasm because people couldn’t understand it, that’s how much I used to use it. So I definitely related to him in the sarcastic aspect. We’re both driven and I wouldn’t say I dressed like him or I want to do the same things as him, but it’s the little things, it’s definitely our personalities that were a match.
Michelle Tompkins: And I love your cast. I’ve actually spoken to Carly Hughes and Meg Donnelly.
Daniel DiMaggio: Oh, have you? She’s great.
Michelle Tompkins: They’re lovely people, I really like them.
Daniel DiMaggio: Oh, they’re both great, great singers too.
Michelle Tompkins: Tell me what it’s like to work with such talented people? I like every one of them.
Daniel DiMaggio: Yeah, it makes me look lucky, kind of like I won the lottery with all these people. I’m just here doing my best. I’m not trying to be humble or anything but I definitely I know I’m not as talented as any of these people because I can’t do as far as many things as they can, they’re all triple threats. I can’t sing for my life, but it’s really great I feel like just being around them I’ve become better and I’ve improved. It’s kind of nice to get that.
Michelle Tompkins: And your characters are also kind of a theater boy and is taking dance classes.
Daniel DiMaggio: Yeah, I guess not theater but definitely, ballet is his thing, that’s what he’s driven for. I don’t know if he’s touched theater yet, but ballet is his thing.
Michelle Tompkins: Now your character had to show a lot of emotion last season when his rich friend played by George Hamilton died.
Daniel DiMaggio: Spencer. Played by the wonderful George. Yeah, he did and it was different. You know you never saw that side of Oliver before and I don’t think you were expecting to see that side of Oliver until he saw George and the pig because like the pig they both got sent away and he had to let go and he never really let go of something before. And what he realizes is the kind of missed an opportunity with George’s character in a way because he kind of wanted him for the money like he did a lot of his relationships and he realized that it wasn’t all about the money it was also about the love that George gave to me.
