Biography

Foote acted at a young age in various theatre productions. From age 7 to 14, he was raised on Montserrat, a volcanic island in the Caribbean.[1] He attended University of Michigan, where he received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in acting in 2016.[3][4]

Following graduation, Foote appeared in several stage productions, including Luis Valdez' 2017 production of Zoot Suit [5] and the San Diego Repertory Theatre's 2017 production of Hand to God. Critics wrote of Hand to God, "Caleb Foote gives a virtuosic performance, changing his voice and manner (he’s so withdrawn and tic-riddled as Jason, so harsh and antagonistic as Tyrone), while deftly manipulating a puppet with both hands, and discoursing with himself in rapid-fire, angry, funny ways. ... It’s a neck-snapping, challenge, [sic] and it’s thrilling to watch."[6] "Caleb Foote as Jason and Tyrone is remarkable in balancing performances as both the cowering Jason and the aggressive Tyrone. ... there is a marked difference between the two performances. When Jason speaks it is a plea, when Tyrone speaks it is a bark with teeth";[7] "this is hand puppet Tyrone’s show all the way, which makes this young Foote’s show";[8] "Foote plays Tyrone, too, with an unearthly way of voicing him that swoops from the guttural to the sing-song. All the while, the actor is also managing Tyrone’s very expressive physical antics while maintaining both sides of conversations between puppet and master. ... It’s an extraordinary performance".[9] For this performance, Foote the San Diego Theatre Critics Circle 2017 Craig Noel Award for Outstanding Male Performance.[3]
