on the NBC soap opera, on which he starred for three years.

Darin Brooks was born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii, where his parents, older brother and Dachshund, Keiki, still reside. Brooks was an avid surfer who also excelled at athletics including baseball, soccer, football and skateboarding. Almost a toddler when his dad began teaching him to surf, his mom says that he learned to surf before he learned to walk. Brooks often still uses his skateboard as his mode of transportation to the "Days of Our Lives" Burbank studios. During his high school years, he played guitar, bass and drums with a band and played local gigs. Drawn to performing, he began to pursue drama in high school, portraying the role of Rapunzel's Prince in the musical "Into the Woods." After that, he was hooked on acting. This led him to become more serious about acting and he enrolled in casting director Cathy Henderson's workshop in Oahu. Modeling and work in Japanese commercials soon followed and he scored his first acting work in the movie "Blue Crush," starring Kate Bosworth.

Brooks found success very quickly after moving to Los Angeles, where he has studied with Ivana Chubbuck and at Carter/Thor Studios. Through Cathy Henderson, he was introduced and signed to a theatrical agent. Following a general meeting with "Days of Our Lives" casting director Fran Bascom, Brooks landed the role following a meeting with the show's producers.

Brooks credits John Travolta, Al Pacino and Johnny Depp as his favorites, saying "they are all great actors of our time and I dream of working with them some day. They are all able to adapt and create such different characters, and they bring so much energy to what they do."



Currently, Brooks is very involved with the charitable project, Tag the World, serving on the organization's Honorary Board of Advisors. He hosted a recent benefit event for this non-profit, which raises money to aid children, cancer research, animals, Africa support and the eco causes of Go Green through the sale of their unique Tag necklaces.

Brooks currently lives in Los Angeles.
