Anthony Cass

Anthony Cass, American poker player, world rank #21,293, career total earnings of $154,162. His poker activities run parallel to his entertainment and acting career, with his poker results mostly coming from small-to-medium stakes events.

Cass's poker career started relatively late; his first recorded cash dates back to early WSOP side events. He has made multiple final tables in regional events and online tournaments but has yet to capture a major title. With total earnings exceeding $150,000, most of his results come from WSOP series events and select tour stops.

Cass plays a conservative, tight-aggressive style, excelling at post-flop pot control by leveraging positional advantage. He performs steadily in short-stack situations, often doubling up by patiently waiting for opportunities. However, against high-level opponents, his lack of aggression can cause him to miss out on deep-stack opportunities.

Cass is more widely known not as a poker player but as a Hollywood actor and producer, having worked on various film and TV productions. In the poker community, he is often referred to with the "actor-poker player" label, and his tournament participation is driven more by social and entertainment motives than by professional profit.

Amateur players can learn from his bankroll management discipline: treating poker as a hobby rather than a source of income. Cass's example shows that maintaining a positive expectancy requires a combination of time investment and emotional control. Even with limited natural talent, consistent study can yield stable returns in low-to-mid stakes events.
