Theo Caesar
90210 Talent

Bronx, NY native Theo Caesar began his career as a professional actor at the age of 10. From his first commercial, which was filmed in the original office of MTV in the 80s, to his first feature film role in “Police Academy 3”, it was obvious that there was a positive chemistry between young Teddy Abner and the entertainment world. Upon moving to Los Angeles and returning to the Film/TV industry in 2007, Theo found himself working in casting of principal and background actors as opposed to acting. Theo became Managing Partner and Head Of Agency in 2009. He is currently Senior Agent at 90210 Talent. Theo quote “I decided not to be an actor so I could educate, protect and be an advocate for actors.  Every actor needs someone with a fire for them picking up the phone, submitting and sending emails out to the world. They need to be the first to set the example themselves. Once an actor with a good product begins this process of doing the work and spreading the word, others have no choice but to take notice and add on to the momentum”

Actor

Zak Barnett taught me to love my craft.  Before I came to the studio I loved acting and I knew it was all I wanted to do, but I didn’t know why.  I found myself in a place where I was giving good auditions, but I wasn’t feeling fulfilled.  Going through his classes allowed me to find my own wants and meld them into one.  I learned to love the art of acting and find joy in making something special, something only I could create.
