MEAT (2024)

“I cast CK in the leading role of Noah in my film MEAT because I needed an actor who could bring an element of world-weary embitterment to a character who had seen the dark side of life at a young age. CK embraced this challenge, diving into the character mindset, evaluating his intentions, and calculating his motivations with a sense of earnest relatability that so beautifully translated to the screen. I believe there are elements of Noah that already existed within CK prior to him ever seeing the script, but it takes a truly capable actor to take those elements of who they are and utilize them as a means to create a completely alternate identity that is not their own. CK crafted a full realized character that is so rich, so textured, and so authentic that I still don’t know where CK ends and where Noah begins. I know that his performance in MEAT will earn him the sort of accolades and attention he’s worked so hard for, for so long now, and that he deserves more so than most anyone I’ve worked with to date.”

Don't Shoot the Piano Man (2022)

“CK Steele is hands down one of the most versatile and attentive actors I've had the pleasure of working with. The way he carries any role thrown his way truly exemplifies his mastery of the wide range of acting techniques and skills he has acquired through the years. An actor of this caliber comes once in a generation and any major project would be remiss without his talents.”

- Jake Cole, Producer/Director

“CK Steele is as committed as an actor possibly could be. His love for the craft, hard work, and natural charisma shown in every frame. For our picture he dedicated himself as both the lead actor and a producer, excelling in each role. Since working with him I’ve written several more parts with the intent of casting him until he no longer wants to be around me. A consummate professional and a natural star.” -Logan Slusser, Writer/Director

Sincerely, Me (2016)

I first witnessed the talent of CK Steele in a close to sold out audience for the show Angels in America where he shined on stage as the character Prior Walter. He had the entire theater in the palm of his hand - absolutely invested and hypnotized by his performance - and I was one of them. I knew I had to see more and get him in front of a camera. I invited CK to the open auditions for my feature Sincerely, Me where he took on Leonardo DiCaprio’s speech from Wolf of Wall Street and blew everyone away. Right then I cast him as one of the lead characters (Evan Moore) and didn’t look back. The dedication CK has put into every character I have ever written or thrown his way is off the charts impressive; all the way from a high school jock to a drag queen. Not only does CK Steele bring the right questions and backstories to the table to make any character believable, his versatility and passion will show in any performance no matter how big or small the role. I can’t wait to see what he’ll do next. - Des Matelske, writer/director
