Petar Gatsby
Originally from sunny Croatia, Petar began his acting journey in Germany before taking his craft across the globe — living and working in Sydney, Australia, and Auckland, New Zealand — before ultimately settling in Vancouver, BC.
With a rich and diverse background in performance, Petar has worked extensively as an Actor, Stunt Actor, Stage Actor, TV Presenter, Drama Teacher, Audition Coach, Stage Manager, and Director/Producer. His experience spans both stage and screen, giving him a well-rounded and dynamic approach to storytelling.
Since arriving in Vancouver, he quickly found his place in the city’s bustling film and television industry. Petar was fortunate to land a recurring role on the last standing CW series filmed in Vancouver, portraying Lex Luthor’s henchman Hacksaw Chronik in Superman & Lois. His favorite screen credits include Arrow (CW Network), Upload (Amazon), Turner & Hooch (Disney+), Project Blue Book (History Channel), The Detour (TBS), and The Shannara Chronicles (MTV/Paramount), among others.
This summer, you can catch him on the big screen in the theatrical release of BAU – Artist at War, alongside Once Upon a Time in Hollywood alum Emile Hirsch — and several of his own clients, who also booked roles in the film.
Over the years, Petar has spent thousands of hours working one-on-one with actors and has participated in over 100 casting and director workshops, developing a sharp eye for what works — and books — on camera. His clients have landed roles in everything from high-profile network series (including one starring Owen Wilson) to major commercial campaigns shot locally and internationally.
Through his production company, based at Actorvan, Petar is also creating his own original content. His short films have received international awards, and he’s now gearing up to produce his first feature film.
Petar continues to grow as both an artist and mentor, dedicated to helping actors develop, connect, and thrive — both in front of the camera and behind it.

We’ll kick off Sunday with brief introductions — your chance to leave a personal impression on Chandler! Chandler will share her unique perspective on the craft and the audition process from the casting side.
Then it’s time to get to work: actors will present their scene work to Chandler.
You’ll do multiple takes, receiving real-time adjustments and insight from Chandler, allowing you to implement her notes and elevate your performance.
We’ll end the day with an open Q&A session, where actors are encouraged to ask anything they’ve ever wanted to know about the casting process.
Whether you're new to the business or a working actor, most performers only see a small part of the casting process. This weekend gives you a deeper look behind the scenes — directly from someone who lives it every day.
You’ll gain real insight into what it actually takes to book a role, and what actors can do to consistently put their best foot forward in the room or on tape. More than anything, it’s a chance to make a personal impression and be remembered.

Don’t miss your chance to learn, connect, and grow your craft with one of the best in the business.
