Caspar Poyck, born 1973 in Sittard, Netherlands, is a Dutch-American actor, public speaker, psychodigestive therapist and chef. He grew up in Geleen, near Sittard, after his family moved there soon after his birth. His father, Noël Poyck, was a yoga teacher and jazz trombone player and vocalist; his mother, Nanny, became a yoga teacher after Noël’s death in 1986.

Caspar started in music as a drummer and later a singer in rock bands. He gained some success at the Limelight Club in London and with recordings for BBC Radio 1, then traveled across the United States and settled in Los Angeles in 1994. He spent years producing and directing television, took acting classes, and traveled the world, without auditioning for acting work during that time.

In 2003 he traveled to the Middle East and Africa. In South Africa he landed the Mailman role in the Warner Bros. film Racing Stripes. He also appeared in Color of the Cross in 2006. To coincide with the release of The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, Caspar played Jesse James in History Channel’s one-hour specials The Plot to Kill Jesse James and Jesse James: American Outlaw.
