Cass began his career in
the motion picture industry as an extra - but soon he was
alternating between acting parts and stunt work. The stunt
work eventually prevailed and Cass went on to become one of
Hollywood's top stunt coordinators and Second Unit Directors.
This led to his producing several films which, in turn, led to
first-unit directing.
Dave has co-produced Miramax Films'
Texas Rangers (2001); a
trio of Burt Reynolds' TV movies titled
Hard Time (1998) (TV),
for the TNT network - writing one episode, and directing
another,
Hard Time: The Premonition (1999) (TV). He has also
co-written several other films including
Enter the Devil
(1972) and
Hard Ground (2003) (TV). Dave was the director of
The Hallmark Channel's mini-series,
Johnson County War (2002)
(TV), another take on the infamous Wyoming cattle wars, this
one an adaptation by Larry McMurtry. Cass has directed two
Gentle Ben TV movies, plus
Night of the Wolf (2002) (TV),
starring Anne Archer and Robert Urich, for Animal Planet.
And from Hallmark, again, David directed a city girl/country
boy love story,
Straight from the Heart (2003) (TV), which
garnered the highest ratings ever for a Hallmark Channel TV
Movie. |
