Danny Taylor (Without a Trace)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Special Agent Danny Taylor is a fictional character played by actor Enrique Murciano on the CBS television crime drama Without a Trace. He is an FBI agent and a member of the FBI missing persons case squad in New York City. The squad solves a new missing person case every week. Danny, who is Hispanic and whose original name might be Danny Alvarez, comes from a troubled background. His parents were killed in a car accident when he was young boy. He blamed himself for the accident because he distracted his father by misbehaving while he was at the wheel of the car. Danny and his brother were put in foster care, where Danny had a troubled youth. Eventually Danny straightened out his life and changed his surname to distance himself from his past. Danny is a recovering alcoholic and studied to become a lawyer. His older brother is a prison inmate.
