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 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 in 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.
