Casting Director & Private Coach for Actors
Blaine is a CSA casting professional with over fifteen years of experience across film, television, commercials, and theatre. After more than a decade working alongside studio and network teams — most recently as Director of Casting for Disney Entertainment Television — he understands what decision-makers are truly looking for from actors. He brings that firsthand casting insight into his coaching, helping actors approach their work with confidence, precision, and a deeper understanding of the room.
“Whether casting or coaching, my passion is the same: helping actors unlock their most authentic and fearless selves in any role.”

Engaging Blaine as an acting coach came highly recommended by my team. I’m happy I signed up! I hear him in my head before every audition. “A piece of you, is what makes the character you create unique.” This has given me the freedom to become my characters and have fun. I loooove Blaine’s attention and honesty during our sessions.
And I always say selfless people make the best teachers. There’s no ego with Blaine, he shares his knowledge and experience sincerely.

I was referred to Blaine by my management team. The coaching was incredibly helpful and I felt that I could safely be vulnerable and try new ways to approach the scene with Blaine’s guidance. Blaine brings a wealth of expertise to his work and combined with his warmth and professionalism I felt like I unlocked new ideas in the session that I otherwise might not have found.

I truly enjoy working with Blaine. The progress I make after each one-on-one coaching session is significant, and he consistently allows space for me to work through material in a way that feels most comfortable and effective. Blaine is a kind, funny, and highly personable acting coach who creates a supportive and safe environment that encourages growth and pushes me beyond my limits as an actor. I feel that I grow immensely with every session, and I always leave having learned a great deal while genuinely enjoying the process!
