He is highly sought after by actors, managers, agents, casting directors, producers, and celebrities, knowing his coaching defines careers. Howard Fine is devoted to elevating actor training and developing the best acting classes in Los Angeles.
In 2006, Backstage named him “Best Acting Teacher in Los Angeles”, a reputation that has preceded him since.
