The Tale of Momma Duck - As a young child of 3 yrs old, Daniel Ross' Mother, Michel Sadur, affectionately known as "Momma Duck", taught him how to do the iconic voice of Donald Duck and it's stuck with him ever since. Daniel had always done impressions, accents, and loved the performing arts, but Donald always stuck as a favorite and silly love language between Mother and Son. In 2012, tragedy struck and Michel was diagnosed with breast cancer resulting in a double mastectomy. After she had healed, she encouraged him to move to Los Angeles and take his shot at the Voiceover world which Daniel had always wanted to do. Very quickly, Daniel was recognized by Disney after an audition for Donald Duck, and through a lengthy and rigorous process, he was chosen out of thousands to carry the torch for the beloved character in the series, "Mickey and the Roadster Racers" later renamed, "Mickey Mouse: Mixed-Up Adventures", making him the third person to have ever officially voiced the character for Disney. It was the joy of a lifetime to share the news with his mother.

In memory of his mother, Daniel submitted his performance in "Mickey and Minnie Wish Upon A Christmas" to the first ever Children's & Family Emmy's in 2022 and was nominated for "Outstanding Voice Performance in a Preschool Animated Program." He hopes to honor her with a win, but knows that whatever the outcome, Momma Duck is beaming with pride from the other side.
