Fan Casting C.C. Capwell in Santa Barbara (2004–2013)

C.C. Capwell is the ruthless and cunning patriarch of the wealthy Capwell family, a self-made businessman whose empire is built on ambition, manipulation, and an iron will. With silver-tongued charm masking a calculating nature, C.C. navigates the upper echelons of Santa Barbara society with practiced ease, using wealth and influence as weapons in his personal and professional battles. His relationships are transactional, his loyalties conditional, and his moral compass conveniently flexible when business or family interests are at stake. Despite his villainous tendencies, C.C. possesses a complex vulnerability beneath the polished exterior—hints of genuine paternal concern occasionally crack through his facade, suggesting a man capable of love but too damaged or prideful to fully express it. He's a character who commands every room he enters, whose word carries weight, and whose schemes often span multiple seasons.
