Eric Casaccio

Eric Casaccio's mission statement says, "In my life, I am committed to focus, hard work, and creativity, and I choose to have that show up by my commitment to being imaginative, empathetic, and passionate and demonstrating through curiosity, collaboration, and full self-expression," and he has more than done so.

Being a driven LGBTQ artist, Eric found genuine pride in creating original work. In 2008, he produced, wrote, co-directed, and acted in a live charity show that raised money for The Trevor Project. Additionally, Casaccio produced, wrote, and directed two thought-provoking, critically acclaimed, and award-winning films: "Freak" and "Narcissist." Both movies feature the late Angela McEwan, who played Peg Nagy in Alexander Payne's Oscar-nominated film "Nebraska."

In 2020, Eric unexpectedly lost his mother, who had always encouraged him to pursue acting. Soon after her passing, he took his first audition in years, landing the lead role in "My Sick Love" and earning a Best Actor nomination. Since then, Eric has booked several indie films and rebuilt his demo reel, showcasing an actor's range of roles that are mysterious, creepy, neurotic, demanding, silly, sad, self-reflective, and ridiculous. As he continues to study various acting styles, he practices the Michael Chekhov Technique daily.

Eric also enjoys running and hiking with his husband in the mountains, as well as spending time with their pup, Vixen, a sweet border collie born on Christmas Day, named after the reindeer.
