Diana Masi Murton
first and foremost, is a mother of three …
Diana is a artist and entrepreneur. She has worked professionally as as actor in film, television and commercials. She graduated from the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute in New York City and attended the British American Drama Academy in Oxford England. She’s also studied at The Studio with Brad Calcaterra and HB Studios in their working actors classes. She has a strong background in improv and was a member at the Peoples Improv Theatre in NYC.
Films she has been a part of, have screened at Sundance; Tribeca; South By Southwest; and The African Academy Film festivals. She has acted along side Oscar, Golden Globe and Emmy award winning actresses and actors.
She developed a passion for casting when she interned at Susan Shopmaker Casting in her early years in NYC. Working right alongside casting directors Susan Shopmaker and Randi Glass on independent films, commercials and tv shows while still working as an actor. Many lives later, Diana reconnected with Susan and due to the rise in self taping, she now assists both Susan’s office as well as other casting offices on a contract basis right from her home in Providence Rhode Island.
As a teaching artist, she has worked with Studio Playground , The Boys and Girls Clubs of Providence, Providence After School Alliance and numerous auxiliary programs.
The Casting Project PVD is her newest creative endeavor that centers around her intimate knowledge of the Rhode Island landscape and the incredible talent that lives and works here.
