You are here for one of two reasons, because you have heard of the entity that is Anthony Carasa, one of the most humble yet beautiful and creative gems known to man. Or, perhaps, you are here because you stumbled upon this website accidentally. Either way, you are in for a treat. I am an artist. I am an actor, a dancer, a writer, a comedian, a friend, a listener, and a hugger. I'm a fighter, a lover, a brother, a son, and a winner. A person who believes in second chances, miracles, love, and God. I am creative, positive (as in positivity), wise, silly, charismatic, and social but I am also a loner. I believe in others but, most importantly, I will always believe in myself.
I enjoy amusement for it amuses me, and therefore I present for your amusement, a theatrical representation of myself. I wanted to do something different, something more than a normal website promoting myself. This is merely the beginning of a journey to world domination. And with all formalities aside, welcome to my official website. Stick around and thanks for coming!

08.16.2010 | XROSSBREED VOL. 2 MIXTAPE | NO RESPECT
If you aren't aware, Xrossbreed
is a moniker I undertook right around 2002-03. I began remixing songs and

definitely have progressed throughout the years and earlier this year I
put out a mixtape of songs I have remixed, edited, mashup-ed, etc. [DOWNLOAD

I have also re-vamped the Xrossbreed section which is now simply called the Portfolio section (under Media as well) and includes a few new graphics I have created including a poster for the latest film I worked on called No Respect. This Monday I will also release my Vol. 2 mixtape of my mixes and mashups I made to the section so make sure you check back for that as well as Vol. 1.
07.24.2010 | BROADZILLA BURLESQUE VIDEOS
I was the luckiest guy in the history of Burlesque on the night of June 25, 2010 when I was chosen not once but twice out of the audience to be a part of two of the finest burlesque dancers in the history of time. Below are videos of both performances starting off with THE INCOMPARABLE, the magnificently talented, www.theJeezLoueez.com's very own Jeez Loueez performing "Jasmine's Confessions" which I mixed (you can also listen to the mix below). The second performance was by world re-nowned Serenna Starr who performed No Doubt's "Bathwater". Enjoy!

06.20.2010 | THE FUNERAL SCENE
So I'm not sure if I can legally post this scene but we're going to give it a shot until someone tells us not to, right? I am posting a portion of the funeral scene from the 2010 remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street that I worked on as an extra. You can see me in the first shot ALL the way to the far right with my good friend Emily Dahm and another time shortly after everyone gets up (just the back of my head, but HEY MY HAIRCUT IS FAMOUS!) Also in this scene are my other good friends, Amber Linde, David Marlowe, and new friend Brad Lavery.
Check out the VIDEOS section to see the clip.
P.S. A big update to the PHOTO GALLERY will be happening the middle of next month so check back soon!
05.31.2010 | IN THEATERS NOW!
Don't forget to catch a glimpse of yours truly in the remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street which is still playing in theatres now. It's during the funeral scene in the first 20 minutes of the film. You know, not to brag or anything but it's pretty dope anyways. And if you don't like horror films and where to only see the first 20 minutes and then go see another movie, that would be between you and your God. Not that I'm condoning that or anything but you would be able to see me and the back of my head.
05.31.2010 | ...AND WE'RE BACK!
Welcome back to my website and hope you guys like the new layout. This is going to be a less professional and more creative environment for my work. My acting career will definitely be the focus but I hope to also be able to touch on other aspects of my creativity and craft such as my graphic designs, music videos, and remixes that I enjoy making and sharing.
As of right now, I am currently auditioning for various works and hope to have something new to tell you all about very soon. You can also expect a new Photo Gallery this month with a new set of headshots that I will be taking when I head home to Miami in a few weeks.
Otherwise, explore, enjoy, and keep it locked! :)
