Cal Sade

Calvin Sade born January 2, 1981 in Marinette, Wisconsin. His father, Robert, is an environmental engineer employed by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA). His mother, a computer programmer originally made her start in Allstate insurance slowly made her way to real estate construction and investments. Always feeling like an outside, Cal was always underdeveloped and often the smallest of his classmates. These characteristics resulted in much torment and ridicule. Torn between two divorced parents he often struggled with the verbal abuse and alcoholism brought on by his mother's new husband. Growing up in the suburbs of Chicago including Northbrook, Mount Prospect, and Glenview he attended John Hersey High School in Arlington Heights, IL. Being as small and tiny as he was, he felt sports were impossible and auditioned for the school choir. He was then introduced to acting through this choir where he acquired his first acting job in the musical "Hello, Dolly!" Studying acting and film at Oakton Community College he soon moved downtown where he began a massage therapy business and took his acting studies to a more professional level by attending Actor's Studio Chicago. Struggling to find the filmmakers of Chicago and highly motivated and persistent to achieve results, he started a weekly filmmakers group that eventually would take off and form a production company that would later be named Chiopolis Entertainment. Having now become trained as a producer of short films including "Women And Menu" and "Decker", the company fails. Having now acquired the training to produce, the young actor starts his own team of local filmmakers where he continues his acting.
