His experience crosses both traditional film and stage. Alongside his acting career, Caleb is a keynote speaker, has represented South Africa in para-sport, and worked in the tech industry. 

Caleb's most recent creative project is a short film which reflects on his experience of surviving a great white shark attack, losing his right leg, and his subsequent relationship with the ocean.

It seems like Caleb has already done it all, no matter what challenges he's faced, but there's more!
