As an actor, Danish is best known for his lead comedy roles in television serials such as Nadaniyan (2009), (2011), Larka Karachi Ka Kuri Lahore Di (2012) and Hum Sab Ajeeb Se Hain (2016).[3]

In an interview with The Express Tribune, when asked how it feels to bound yourself with one genre, Nawaz said ''I present myself as a comedy actor and I have no issues with doing comedy roles only. I'd rather do something that I'm really good at than do something so many other people are doing.''
