Dario Hernandez is a fictional character on the NBC daytime soap opera, Days of Our Lives. The role was played by Francisco San Martin who originated the role from March to September 2011 and Jordi Vilasuso since February 2016.

In December 2010, it was reported that Francisco San Martin would play the role of Dario, Rafe and Gabi Hernandez's (Galen Gering and Camila Banus) brother as a way to fill the void left following their sister Arianna's (Lindsay Hartley) death. San Martin previously played Javier Rodriguez, a patient of Nathan Horton (Mark Hapka) for one episode on November 16, 2010. San Martin's first airdate aired on March 9, 2011.[1] Three months later in June 2011, following the departure of head writer Dena Higley and the appointments of new writers Marlene Clark Poulter and Darrell Ray Thomas Jr., it was reported that San Martin was among the list of actors let go from the show, San Martin's last airdate was on September 19, 2011.[2]

In August 2015, nearly four years after San Martin's exit, it was reported that former Guiding Light and All My Children actor Jordi Vilasuso will take over the role of Dario.[3][4][5] Vilasuso made his debut on February 19, 2015.[6] In July 2017, it was reported that Vilasuso will be departing the show.[7]
