Rusty Daniels is originally from Kirkland, Washington. Offers came in during Rusty's early years as an entertainer for parts in television series and movies, he declined them because he felt those parts offered didn't allow him to stretch as an artist. Rusty told us, "I remember one part called for me just to sit on a chair with a blank stare on my face and say nothing. I needed more. I felt I could do more."

After working comedy clubs as a solo performer for a few years, he joined Gary Brodeur in 1969. Times were tough at the beginning, but he enjoys being able to interact with his audience. He eventually wants to have his own designer line of clothes for short people. When asked for a serious comment on life, Rusty replied; "As you slide down the banister of life, may the splinters never point your way."
