Over the years, Paris competed in various triathlons. From 1990 to 1994, he was a surf lifesaver and won the under-21 state medal in surfboat competition. In 1991 he competed with the WA swim team, and in 1998 Paris was Sports Person of the Year (swimming) in State Country Region WA.

Career
= Actor & presenter
=Paris never aspired to be an actor. After travelling around Australia, he settled in Melbourne and while working in a bar, he attended a general audition at Grundy's without any acting experience. He secured his first role in 1998 (the role he is best known for), as Drew Kirk, who became husband to character Libby Kennedy in Australian soap opera Neighbours. Drew was killed off in a tragic horse-riding accident in 2002.
Paris continued on with guest roles in MDA and McLeod's Daughters until 2005. Paris returned to Neighbours in 2005 for a guest stint as a ghostly vision of Drew in Steph Scully's dreams.
His career successfully crossed over as an advertising host for Aqua Technics and Ashley Martin, and more recently, as a presenter on Postcards, DestinationWA, ZoomTV, Home in WA, The West Real Estate Program and WA Weekender.
Paris has hosted various natural history documentaries, and in 2007 and 2009 was a regular presenter on the travel program Postcards WA.
Paris played Mark Davies in the ABC/Matchbox television series The Heights from 2019 to 2020.
= Photographer & videographer
=Paris is also a freelance landscape photographer and cinematographer, operating both Dan Paris Photography and Bauhaus Films video production.
He has produced several photography books: "Images of a Southern Coastline" (2006), "Images of a Northern Peninsula" (2007), "Leaving Footprints in Esperance" (2009) and "Esperance - A Place Less Travelled" (2014).
