Dexter Masland
Instructor
Dexter grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and did his first play at the age of 5. By 13, he was immersed in school musicals, acting camps and making films with his friends in his backyard. He continued acting throughout high school and college at The University of Southern California, where he received a B.A in Dramatic Arts and minored in The Critical Study of Film and Television. He continued his training at the renowned British American Drama Academy (BADA) in London. After completing that program, he returned to Los Angeles and began working as a professional actor and model.
DANNY ANNONE
INSTRUCTOR
Originally from Miami, FL, Daniel grew up with a love for theatre and film. After attending a magnet program in high school, he went on to graduate from the University of Central Florida with his BFA in Theatre, acquiring theatre credits ranging from traveling Children’s Theatres (Hampstead Stage, Madcap Puppets) to Regional theatres like the Orlando Shakes. With a passion for humor, Daniel has performed live sketch comedy and improv steadily over eight years, most recently working with the Mighty Shorts Comedy Collective. Since moving to Atlanta four years ago he’s focused primarily on his career in film and television, earning credits in projects such as Atlanta, Richard Jewell, and Gemini Man, among others.
In his free time, Danny loves training jiu-jitsu, meditating, and playing video games. As someone who’s constantly aspiring to learn and grow, he’s beyond grateful to have found a home here at Catapult and looks forward to giving back and sharing his passion with those around him.
