Wayne David Gasser has spent more than 25 years in the Entertainment
Industry. His first job was working in the mail room at WNAC-TV (CBS)
while attending 'some' of his college classes in Boston.
Working himself up the ladder, Wayne acted as a liaison between the CBS
stars and the local station while they were in Boston promoting their
various shows. At 19 years old he was greeting such guests as Lucille
Ball, Beatrice Arthur, Valerie Harper, Bob Newhart, Dan Rather as well as
Dr. Joyce Brothers, Woodward & Bernstein, Vincent Price and Jimmy Hoffa!
Upon
graduating college, Wayne returned to New York City and through a chance
meeting began working as a freelance publicist with rising young actor
Kevin Bacon and Margaret Hamilton ('Wicked Witch of the West' in "The
Wizard of Oz").
Word
of Wayne reached Los Angeles and he was soon lured there by a job offer
from David Hasselhoff's Manager and PR Firm. What happened in that
endeavor opened Wayne's eyes to the 'not so nice' side of Hollywood.
Through a longtime New York friend, Wayne was introduced to actor Bill
Beyers, who was starring on the CBS Daytime Drama "Capitol." This prompted
Wayne to begin his own Publicity and Management firm, The Gasser Group,
with Beyers as his first official client.
He
soon began representing other stars from "Capitol," "The Young & the
Restless," "Santa Barbara," "Days of Our Lives," "General Hospital," and
actors Sonny Shroyer ('Enos' from "Dukes of Hazzard") and Anthony Perkins
('Norman Bates' from the film classic "Psycho").
One of Wayne's clients 'dared' him into taking their acting class. It gave
Wayne a deeper understanding of actors and their challenges. Two of his
fellow students in that class included newcomer Brad Pitt and Drew
Barrymore!
Wayne returned to his roots and New York City where he continues Personal
Management for a select group of actors and teaches ActingHeartNYC cold
