Kasey Esser's Dramas

Kasey Esser still runs the gym. He founded Essers of Los Angeles, a personal-training studio in Culver City and Burbank, in 2015, and acting has not changed that. His spring-2023 turn as Alpha Alexander in ReelShort's Fated to My Forbidden Alpha went viral, and Rolling Stone singled him out as one of vertical drama's breakout stars: a Midwest gym owner turned actor with the look to match. He has led dozens of titles since, almost always the star: fire captain (Brave New Beginning With My Fire Captain), billionaire tycoon, brooding werewolf. A lot of range for a man whose day job is your squat form. Between shoots, the gym stays open.
