Recently lost out on a Sour Punch Straws commercial where I was gonna play a sketchy guy who lived inside of a vending machine. No seriously.
I was advised to get some more headshots done. Sounded expensive so I took some selfies and had meta ai replace the background with muppets and buffalo sauce. Goes way harder in my opinion. Gonna roll with these for awhile.
Definitely was hoping for Bert and/or Ernie to make an appearance, but this life is that of compromise.
The last picture is just what I look like without a shirt on (fyi casting directors)

I’ve had people say they’re real proud of me for following my dream of pursuing music. It’s sweet of them to say, but it’s really not my dream. My dream still is to play in the @nhl and I’ll never let it go even though I’m washed.
I just do music for funsies and I had to put my years of classically trained cello to use. Shockingly, knowing how to play cello really doesn’t offer many career opportunities. I like to make shit. Movies, songs whatever. Anything creative. The non NHL dream is just to create and be able to pay my bills. Having a band is the excuse to get on a microphone and fuck around and yell about my problems for an hour. Loud selfish therapy kinda. Let loose and smash guitars (which is not as cool as it used to be apparently 😐) Writing and making music is awesome. The rest of it though…the marketing and the ass kissing and the fake politics and the social media cringe and trying not to physically harm the trust fund kid who only plays shows to get laid is real difficult.
With that being said, I think @thelosersclubdenver has gotta do one more show this year. For funsies. Can’t go out like a bitch. I think it’ll be a grand ole time. Lmk if you wanna be on the bill. I think we’ll play the drake and josh song 🙂↕️
Lowkey…super into dressing like a chick and getting beat up lately.
I feel like Kristi Noem’s husband. Or @tomcruise most evenings (probably)
@saturdaysmovie is coming in hot that’s all I know. Gonna put this on my @actorsaccess and test the waters

Scene from “Knockout” Directed by Ralph Giordano
One of my favorites. All one take, which I thought was pretty fun.
Hi I’m Cass Braido I’m 27, White, about 6’5 but I slouch and I’d be happy to audition for your movie.
I’ll shave my head, gain weight, lose weight, grow a beard, learn karate, cross dress idc. I do it all the time.
Not the cross dressing all the time, but I would…Should you need me to do it. Hypothetically.
Down for whatever.

My band has been lucky enough to get some very cool live pictures over the past few years. They’re pretty much only useful for instagram clickbait, but I like to use them to trick my grandma into thinking I’m famous at thanksgiving. She has no idea. Sue me 🤷♀️
However, this one will always be top 3 for me. It has a backstory and god knows I love a monologue.
Way back during COVID when @thelosersclubdenver was just one unfinished demo on a MacBook I had asked a friend from middle school if there were any pop punk-type bands around Denver. He was in the scene. I wasn’t. I had know idea about anything band related.
All he said was “yes @oneflewwestband , they’re incredible”
He was right. I was blown away. I was like okay. That’s how you do a it. From the top down. The songwriting, the attitude, the stage presence. They had it. Everything I liked about music just dialed. Especially the songwriting. You gotta have good songs.
Fast forward a few years, The Losers Club progressed off the MacBook and we’ve gotten to play shows with them, hangout and became friends with their guitar player DiSalvo. In my opinion a local scene legend.
He came up and sang a cover of Feeling This by @blink182 with us last week. A cool full circle moment that was so casual, but so so meaningful. The guy from the band that’s the only reason losers club became a band playing music together. Ha. Cool…
For sure one of the top photos in the inevitable old shoe box titled “dads music”
my kids will find in a basement someday 😌👌

This first picture is just my friend Will and I at an adult league lacrosse game. I needed a photo that size for the carousel…
Once again. Using this page as a demo reel of sorts. But I’m about to dump some lore. Not that long ago I wasn’t getting any acting work. Didn’t have an agent yet. All I was doing were student films from the college I dropped out of. They were all so serious. Very artsy. Honestly, very self indulgent and up their own ass. I’ll find some and post them soon.
I didn’t want to do any of that though. I wanted to tell stories and I wanted it to be fun. Ultimately I got into film stuff bc when I was little I just wanted to be Obi-Wan Kenobi. Then I got a little older and I wanted to be Jonah Hill’s character from Superbad. Seriously. Stories for another time. But I was over it and said F-it I’m not doing anymore student films I’m gonna write, shoot and edit my own skits. I didnt know how to do any of that but I had the time and thought maybe something comes from it, maybe it doesn’t. Maybe they suck or maybe they don’t but the fellas and I will just have fun.
We did. We had a lot of fun. Turns out Will and Foster also have some acting chops. I always knew they were funny. That’s why we’re still friends. But I didn’t know if it was gonna work on camera. I’d text them a random script and we’d shoot it as soon as we could. Both of them bringing their own ideas and full commitment. Always down for however stupid the idea was.
Funny enough the only reason I ended up with an agent and getting actual gigs was because we started making these. I’m thankful we did.
Also these videos are the only reason my band The Losers Club started. (Again a story for another time)
I lost the plot here for a little while. Easy to do. Life is tough. Gotta try and make a living and self medicate. But I think maybe it’s about time for these to make a comeback.

Jk. I’m completely washed and my shoulder is trashed and I’m lazy these days. But in my head I’m @mackinnon29 on steroids and nobody can convince me otherwise
