Biography

Beau "Casper" Smart is a versatile actor and creative director with leading roles in breakout films like No Way Out and Street. In No Way Out - which topped Tubi's charts in 2023 as the platform's #1 movie - he stars as Anthony Santiago, a powerful drug kingpin navigating deadly deception and betrayal from behind prison walls. In Street, he plays Remo, a scrappy underground fighter searching for purpose and redemption through the fight world.

Beau's on-screen career spans projects like CBS's The Neighborhood, Showtime's Shameless, The Perfect Match, NBC's Shades of Blue, Restored Me, and the ABC remake of Dirty Dancing - where he consistently brings depth and charisma to a wide range of characters.

On the unscripted side, Beau spent five seasons as a judge on Univision's hit competition series Mira Quien Baila, and served as one of three judges on truTV's visually driven reality show Fake Off. He also made a major splash on Season 3 of MTV's The Challenge: Champs vs. Stars, where he quickly earned a reputation as the show's villain and physical powerhouse - surviving three eliminations and sending home a total of nine competitors.

Beau began his career in dance at 18, emerging from the krump movement with raw intensity and style. By the age of 22, he was choreographing for icons like Beyoncé and Eminem. That rapid rise transitioned into a highly respected path as one of the most sought-after creative directors in the music industry. He most recently served as Creative Director and Show Designer for Nicki Minaj's Pink Friday 2 Tour - which grossed $108 million and became the fourth highest-grossing hip-hop/rap tour in history. His other collaborators include Ariana Grande, Jennifer Lopez, Lil Wayne, Lil Baby, 50 Cent, Prince Royce, Wisin y Yandel, and many more.

With a combined following of over 3 million across social platforms, Beau's digital presence and creative reach have led to high-impact campaigns and brand partnerships with some of the world's most recognized companies. These include immersive campaigns with Pepsi in the Metaverse, as well as partnerships with Old Spice, Hyundai, Cash App, Lays, Patrón, Reign (by Monster), Quest Nutrition, Spotify, and Electrolit.

Raised in Anaheim, California, Beau attended 9 schools growing up - an experience that taught him to adapt quickly and connect with people from all walks of life. Outside of entertainment, he's passionate about snowboarding, tactical shooting, pickleball, boxing, mixed martial arts, and golf. But above all, the two greatest skills passed down to him by his grandfather - and closest to his heart - are riding horses and mastering motorcycles, both of which remain a big part of who he is today.
