Danny Blue
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Danny Blue is a character in the popular BBC television show Hustle. "Danny" (as he is most commonly referred to) is the most recent addition to the Hustle team. He is played by Marc Warren.
Danny claims to be the son of career criminals, though after watching them go in and out of prison through his youth he ran away--determined not to go straight, but to be a better criminal. Escaping to London, he became a master "dip", then moved up to the short con and mastered that as well. Egotistical and ambitious, Danny is determined not just to be good but to be the best, and sought out the crew of confidence men run by Mickey Stone to learn and master the long con.
The most recent addition to Stone's crew after literally talking his way into the group in the middle of a con in progress, he is a sometimes careless but brilliant con artist said by veteran con artist Albert Stroller to have great "grift sense" and possibly be destined to be the best con artist in the world--something Danny is all too ready to believe, his ego being the greatest weakness he has yet to overcome.
Danny has displayed a romantic interest in Stacie Monroe persuing her in season 1, and flirting with her in season 2. This, however died down considerably in season 3.
In the 4th episode of the first season, Danny kissed Stacie while they were alone in the appartment, but she rejected him. Danny accused her of only having eyes for Mickey, and the pair momentarily fell out. They reconciled in the same episode, however.
