Filipina actress Kakki Teodoro met Daniel backstage at Every Brilliant Thing. She is the one who did the show in the Philippines and Daniel mentioned her in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter: (and also Playbill).

Quote: “Because there’s lots of moments in the script where the characters come close to kissing, and obviously we don’t, because they are audience members and it’s a Broadway play, and I’m not going to be doing that with anyone. But Kakki Teodoro made out with so many people, I was just like, ‘Yeah, good for you, man, that’s awesome.”
