Daniel Ross and his alter ego, Donald Duck, may take home the Emmy at the first annual Children and Family Emmy Awards (CAFE) in the category of "OUTSTANDING VOICE PERFORMANCE IN A PRESCHOOL ANIMATED PROGRAM" in "Mickey and Minnie Wish Upon a Christmas" (Disney Junior).The Tale of Momma Duck – As a young child of 3yrs old, Daniel Ross' Mother- Michel Sadur, affectionately known as "Momma Duck", taught him how to do the iconic voice of Donald Duck and it's stuck with him ever since. Daniel had always done impressions, and accents, and loved the performing arts, but Donald always stuck as a favourite and silly love language between Mother and Son. In 2012, tragedy struck and Michel was diagnosed with breast cancer resulting in a double mastectomy. After she had healed, she encouraged him to move to Los Angeles and take his shot at the Voice Over world which Daniel had always wanted to do. Very quickly, Daniel was recognized by Disney after an audition for Donald Duck, and through a lengthy and rigorous process, he was chosen out of thousands to carry the torch for the beloved character in the series, "Mickey and the Roadster Racers" later renamed, "Mickey Mouse: Mixed-Up Adventures", making him the third person to have ever officially voiced the character for Disney. It was the joy of a lifetime to share the news with his Mother.
