Caspar started his career as an actor. He’s probably best known for playing ‘Gill’ alongside Ant & Dec in BBC One’s Byker Grove.
After two years of acting, he read Economics at Cambridge University. Outside of studying, he directed theatre shows, including those by the Cambridge Footlights working with performers such as Olivia Colman, David Mitchell and Robert Webb.
While still at university he had his first screenplay produced by Film Four.
Aged 23, Caspar was writing for Miramax and Columbia TriStar. His future as a film writer was looking good. However, two years later, Caspar made a life-changing decision and moved to Vegas to become a professional poker player!
Caspar played professional poker for the next three years, making a good living by pitting his wits against the game’s best-known players.
As a result, Caspar became a poker advisor on the Bond movie, Casino Royale.
In 2002, he returned from the States. He co-founded the fastest-growing AV media company in the North East, before selling it to media giant – Ten Alps.
