Smith was born in Pickering, Ontario. After high school productions of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (Joseph), The Little Shop of Horrors (Seymour), The Wizard of Oz (The Cowardly Lion) and more, he began working at Stage West in Mississauga, spending over a year doing dinner theatre. He went on to study and perform at The Second City in Toronto, working with SCTV legend Joe Flaherty. This led to various television (It's Alive!, Big Wolf on Campus) and film roles (National Lampoon's Senior Trip, The Hairy Bird, The Big Hit).

Smith appeared on the CBS game show The Price is Right on March 27, 2001. He won throughout the show including the "Showcase Showdown" where he took home US$31,000 worth of prizes (including a car).
After Big Wolf on Campus ended in 2002, Smith starred in the film The Bail, however, that film went unreleased. After The Bail (alternately titled Fizzy Bizness), Smith moved to Los Angeles to pursue a musical career. From 2003–2009, Danny was the singer/songwriter/guitarist for the band The City Drive. The band parted ways in 2009, and Danny returned to Toronto and is pursuing his acting career. In 2010 he started appearing in commercials for Telus, including one in 2011 where he appears with Leonard Nimoy.
