The 34-year-old actor, who is best known for his appearances on Power Rangers RPM and Marvel’s Jessica Jones and The Defenders, put his career on hold earlier this year to care for his son, Mana.
Doctors later told the family that Mana had a high-grade aggressive cancer, a form of glioneuronal tumour with genetic mutations usually only seen in glioblastomas, and were no longer able to continue treatment on Mana. Darville and his life Lila were then able to find two clinics in America who could treat the disease, but were not covered by insurance and costed between $A25,000 and $50,000 . Their current fundraising total stands at over $654k .
