Steve Eastin Studio

Steve Eastin has the kind of resume that fills a character-actor hall of fame, Field of Dreams, Catch Me If You Can, Con Air, a hundred national commercials, and his Burbank studio trained working actors for three decades. The record needs updating in most directories: the old Cordova Street building closed, but Eastin verifiably still teaches, with weekly Tuesday classes in Burbank sold through his official site.

Two sections run, afternoon and evening, at a published $350 a month, with flexible passes (a $100 single class, a $270 three-class month) for actors juggling bookings. Both monthly sections showed sold out at verification, which says what students think of the room. His approach, developed over decades and grounded in on-camera work, emphasizes what he has called choiceless awareness: spontaneous, present acting for the lens. Private and self-tape coaching runs $150 by appointment.

The current venue address is shared with enrollment rather than published, so start at the site. For actors who want a working character actor's craft passed on directly, with published prices and a drop-in option, Eastin remains one of Burbank's standards, rumors of retirement notwithstanding.
