Danny Blue is a fictional character in the popular BBC television show Hustle. 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 Bricks 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 pursuing her in season 1, and flirting with her in season 2. This however, seemed to have died down considerably in season 3. Yet, in the first episode of season 4, Danny, while on an attempt to become leader of the group, wonders if that will cause Stacie to sleep with him.
In the 4th episode of the first season, Danny kissed Stacie while they were alone in the apartment, but she rejected him. Danny accused her of only having eyes for Mickey, and the pair momentarily fell out. However, they later reconciled in the same episode.
During Mickey's absence in season 4, Danny took over leadership of the group, and despite hoping to hire a "fit bird" as Mickey's replacement, he eventually gave the go ahead for Billy Bond, a short con artist, who acted very much like Danny had on the first episode, to join instead.
