actor...
Cassidy is a Bay Area based actor versed in a wide range of styles. He specializes in physically comedic roles and multi-character challenges, though a little serious realism is always a welcome change of pace. He is equally at home with classical verse and modern prose. He credits much of his current facility to his early voice work with Master Linklater Teacher Louis Colianni, acting work with Elizabeth Craven, and Shakespeare work with Dale AJ Rose. He studied theatre at his undergrad, Sonoma State University, and received his MFA at University of Missouri at Kansas City. Though his focus has primarily been in theatre, his forays into film, TV, and commercial have brought him great joy.

improvisor...
As a comedic improvisor, Cassidy cut his teeth on short-form with his college troupe PostHumorous and his grown-up troupes The Original Action Pack and Surely You Jest. When he was finally introduced to long-form (which he mistakenly had dismissed as “too artsy”) he dove in with a hunger, playing with The Revolution Allstars, Crisis Hopkins, Tornado Espinoza, and currently (occasionally) with Rusty Nails. He has studied with a wide range of teachers, from Wavy Gravy to David Razowsky, though he did fake his way through a whole lot of Harolds before he ever really knew what a Harold was. His favorite non-theatrical application of the art is teaching Improv to scientists at Lawrence Livermore Labs and various tech companies like that one that starts with G. He is also a proud producer of The San Francisco Improv Festival.
