About Dakota

Dakota Goyo is a very talented young actor! His most notable role was Max in the hit movie “Real Steel.” Don’t let yourself be fooled by his young age, he has quite the resume under his belt, and I’m sure it’s going to keep growing, both as an actor and someday as a Director.

Dakota has two siblings, Devon and Dallas. His parents are David and Debra. He also has two dogs, Chloe and Abby.

Aside from acting Dakota enjoys playing chess and golf. Dakota also enjoys outdoor sports such as bike-riding, soccer, skiing, golfing, horseback riding, martial arts, swimming and skating.

Dakota is not only a great actor he loves doing it,

“The hardest part of acting is not when I’m acting, It’s when I’m not.”

“He’s not only a great actor but he’s got something kind of magical about him.”

-Hugh Jackman

  21. I loved Dakota goyo in real steel and I hope that the rumor about the sequel is true because I have already watched it12 times 🙂

  22. hi Dakota ok i’m 11 and i begged my dad to take me to see real steel! Ok that movie was really good! 😀 and also i’m going into 7th grade i hope that year is fun :/ any ways umm, you were in R.L Stines the Haunting Hour ok i love those shows and i was like wait hes on one of the episodes? your a really good actor and i’m not saying this just beacuse your famous i’m saying this beacuse it’s your natural talent and yea you made it far 🙂 and i live in California 🙂 any ways bye! 😀

  23. I just finished grade 7 an it was so fun….minus the finals. I bought real steel on paper view and wheny dad set up r new blue ray it deleted All of r pvr shows so I am really pissed cause I waited so long for my mom to let me get the movie :\
    K I am kinda surprised that Dakota is in grade six cause i m younger then him…..(only by 5 days though) I guess it’s cause he probably misses a lot with his acting job even if he does study on set.

    • really ur just finished grade 7 oh congrats hope ur school this would be fun im in grade 6 so your younger than me:)

  24. Yeah grade 7 is a lot of fun buy now everyone’s changing schools even one of my friends is moving schools….I really wish he won t move schools h says he might not

  28. hi dakota just a question why are you not answering us these days
    anyway just to ask would you date a girl like 1 year younger than you?

    • i agree that much
      if they love each other no matter what happen no one can break them
      so AGE doesnt matter

  29. Hey, What would you do if today was the last day of your life?
    Would you date a fan?
    What’s your favorite animal?
    What’s your favorite food, and why?

    You don’t have to answer if you don’t want to I just thought it would be cool to ask because your like my twin:3

  30. Ok honestly stop acting like a jealous female dog (didn’t want to actually swear cause idk the age of everyone on this site) ur probably just scared Dakota will answer her instead of u! She just wants to get to know one of her favorite actors let her fangirl for a moment and I am positive a lot of people care about her!!!!!!! Of him……
    Either way this website is to be a fan o Dakota’s and get to know hi not to put be people down because u are so insecure get a life and stop ruining other peoples days
    I’m sorry for being so mean but I have had enough of people like u!!!!!
    Just please try to respect people!!!!!!
    And again sorry for being so rude

    • and then..

      you think you have shown a good respect?!
      you too…you don’t have a respect to the other peopLe
      i’m so sorry for saying that too but i’m not a dog and i;m not jeaLous…
      i just want to comment…

      a person… no body’s perfect!

      • U guys need a guy to comment on that conversation. I wanna see what he would say. 🙂 No disrespect, just speaking my mind, and I’m curious 😉 ; D

  31. hey!
    she’s just trying to teach you how to respect peopLe!!..
    not a fight!
    you know she’s right you don’t know how to respect people!!! 😛

  32. You hurting other people is everyone’s business and it isn’t a fight if she not fighting back and I have made myself part of this fight!!!!!!!! I really am getting annoyed with you this is not a website where it is ok to hurt other people it is a website to mind your own business and show Dakota that he is a good actor and that he has a ton of fans
    That is all she was doing now if u aren’t going to show respect to Dakota u have no business on this website!!!!
    Oh and thanks jekota 😀

  36. The comments on this page make me giggle 🙂 My friend told me to look this up and almost all the comments are about how they think he’s hot.
    1. Who is Hugh Jackson?
    2. Does Dakota even know this page exists? I mean, I’m sure he does, but it makes me wander…?
    3. Woah…there is a huge argument about his grade on here…he should be in 8th grade. If u do the math correctly 🙂

    -Hannah
