I will never understand (actually I do) why many actors wish to be in classes where they are basically asked to torment or invalidate themselves for an "emotional response" or "connection".
It's a form of self abuse..it is definitely an insecurity of self.
It's not the game the Brits or Aussies play.
I won't even debate this..I have seen it with my own eyes. There is a better and easier way. But for some..if they are not getting beaten up..they are not happy and actually convince themselves that they are making progress.

SO PROUD!
TWO LEGIT feature films have now come out of my class!
"The Getaway Crew" (NOW FILMING), written by Amanda Dewland and Oliver Merrill. And "Skimmer", written by Sean Dawkins.
Both using TAG students and both directed by an award winning director and Alum, Mariah Morgenstern!
My job is not just to teach and inform...but also to inspire. I hope that to some degree that I had a hand in, besides acting, inspiring these young and talented filmmakers!
TAG students in LA:
Bernie Rodriguez just booked his second SAG feature film out in LA.
Hannah Martinez booked yet another commercial out in LA.
Rachel Ali is coming closer everyday to booking a series regular.
Jennifer Whitman has also booked short films and commercials out there.
Maui Kai Malone has also booked commercials out there.
Chris Scott will soon do the same!
And they have not been out there a long time!
Those who stuck with the program, listened, and then put it all into practice, are winning at this game.
WELL DONE TO ALL!!💪

Stellar news!
This will be the second full length feature film to come out from my class, The Actors Group Orlando!
Both with serious budgets!
The first one, "SKIMMER, written and produced by a student, is in post production in LA and almost in final cut and being readied for festivals.
The second, now in pre production, is a lovely screenplay with charming and refreshing three dimensional characters called, "The Getaway Crew".
It was beautifully written by two students, Amanda Dewland and Oliver Merrill and will be directed by alum student, Mariah Morgenstern, who also directed and produced, "Skimmer" last year.
I had a fun role in "Skimmer" and now have a great role in "The Getaway Crew"
Mariah is a phenomenal talent as well as an award winning director and producer who, only being in LA for a few yrs, has accomplished much. Her style of directing is so informed, very unique and very refreshing. She knows film and it shows!
She will be assembling her crew out of LA and the film will be shot entirely here in Florida.
She's also a very gifted singer songwriter and can be found on youtube under the name "Myah".
The films incorporate those students who are fully trained and camera ready, (some flew out from LA last yr for "Skimmer") for the leads and co stars, as well as minor roles and extras. WE keep it in the family!
"The Getaway Crew" can and will be a a festival "darling" when completed.
This was a dream I had many yrs ago when I started this class. No class I ever studied with in LA (waste of time actually) ever had these kind of driven students.
They say that I have inspired them..well..they inspire ME!
They are taught to BELIEVE and CREATE..anything is possible!
I love and am very proud of all of them!
As I always say, those who stuck with the program reap the rewards.
Mariah Morgenstern :

As an acting coach/mentor..and as a friend...it is the most rewarding and exciting experience to be witnessing a student of mine, standing at the cusp of greatness, getting ready to TAKE OFF!
Best damn phone conversation I have had in decades. Someone is now stepping on and into the big leagues in LA!..you know..the BIG TOWN! I spent thirty yrs working out there..I know what it takes!
I am elated!! I am honored to have had them as a student..and now as a great friend! 😎🙏✍️🎬🎥🎞... a very tearful and beautiful conversation.
I knew from the beginning that this kid would pull it off!!!
Updates to follow. There is no better training program anywhere..that TAG! WE train for the big time.

Lead instructor Bob Caso here.
Well my final day of shooting "SKIMMER" will be on Monday..in fact the whole film wraps on Monday.
The experience was special in many ways. I have not been in front of the camera since 2015 due to my class structure; you can't cancel classes when fifty students are attending over a four day period plus Atlanta doesn't treat LONG TIME UNION members like myself with the respect we deserve...so I don't bother auditioning anymore... I actually enjoy writing better..so I write myself into my own work.
So it was amazing to be able to do what I had to do, at my age, in the Florida heat! There were nerves at first because, like everything else, it's a muscle that must be worked. That's why actors who are not working on a regular bases (legit projects) need to stay in class..like a boxer has to stay in the gym. Those who don't.. don't do as well.
BUT YEP! I still got it! It was a high energy and funny role!
But what was really special is that the whole thing basically generated out of my class, The Actors Group Orlando! This is/was amazing and inspirational. I can sleep well.
Wonderfully Written by my student, and lead actor, Sean Dawkins..who also produced the film ( no easy feat raising all that cash) most all of the co stars except for a couple of roles, were my students, Bernie Rodriguez, Tyler Re**er, Rachel Ali,Jennifer Whitman,Chris Scott,Jose Garza and all who flew in from LA.. where by the way they are doing great..to be in this film. And Hannah Martinez, my right hand in the class. And many other students as background or featured extras.
The director and exec producer, Mariah Morgenstern,is an alum of the class. I knew her potential when as a student and have watched her career flourish since she moved to LA only a few short yrs ago. She has been winning awards and accolades for her directing and producing..she actually makes her sole living as a director and producer..no easy feat at her young age; she is a BADASS! She had a vision for this film that enhanced it more than I can say. She and her crew were hustling in the Florida heat like the young pros they are. Her D of P, Mitch, is a fantastic shooter..the stills and playback I have seen are on another level for an Indie film..for any film. Her 1st AD,another female, was amazing! When will we men learn our lesson? Just let the ladies handle it!! I've learned that!
Working opposite my guys, which was an honor, was a very unique experience.. for both of us.. and I think they learned a lot! 😎😉.
As one of my LA students remarked to my Orlando students when she stopped by my studio before flying out, "You all know how Bob can bu****it? Well, he can back all that bu****it up!" We had a great time working together..they were able to see that their instructor can walk the talk. My guys can also walk the talk.
I was always hopeful of legacy.. I see now what my legacy will be. Artists thriving, and feeling free to create.. unencumbered by insecurity or doubt confident in the tools they were taught.
What an experience... The TAG family doing what they love.
Thankyou Mariah Morgenstern for your genius.. and easy going manner when things got rough. WE ALL owe you so much. I love and adore you. Thankyou Sean Dawkins for the words.. I channeled my dad! LOL! Thank you to all my guys who made the effort and put the time in.
Thank you Hannah Martinez for all the work you do keeping me from running into walls!! You are so LOVED, appreciated and adored... NOW come and get that damn couch!!
Behind the scenes and stills coming, then you'll see what I mean, but not until the boss, Mariah Morgenstern, says so.
There is no other class, nowhere like The Actors Group Orlando...No brag, just fact. Those who stuck with the program are winning!
See you all at the festivals when Mariah gets it out there.
