When the Birmingham-based Erwin Bros. announced in 2014 they were making Woodlawn, Caleb was one of hundreds of actors and football players, who sent in an audition tape for the lead role of the young Tony Nathan. He had known about Nathan's inspiring story for about two years, ever since Jon and Andrew Erwin asked his brother Simeon to play Nathan in the "proof of concept" they shot -- a five-minute short featuring scenes from the film, which they made to show potential investors the scope and style of the movie. Caleb said he felt completely connection to Nathan's story, yet as the weeks passed, he found out another actor had been cast in the role.

Caleb was drawn to Nathan's story and auditioned in open casting call for football players, chosen by football coordinator Mark Ellis to be the football playing body double for Nathan.

Caleb trained with Ellis, the onscreen football players and co-stars Richard Kohnke and Marcus Henderson, until October 31st when Andrew Erwin called and asked to meet. After learning the original actor had fallen out, the Erwins said Ellis had pointed them to Caleb's audition tape, which they had not previously seen, and after watching it, they decided Caleb Castille was their Tony Nathan.

Birmingham's Football Dynasty: The Castilles --Two generations of Crimson Tide & NFL players: Caleb's father, Jeremiah Castille, is a former NFL player for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers ('83-'85) and Denver Broncos ('85-'89) and was a defensive back at the University of Alabama ('79-'82), playing on the last team coached by Bear Bryant. After his six seasons in the NFL, and a stint coaching college football at Howard University Maryland, Castille returned to Alabama, eventually becoming an assistant coach at Birmingham's Briarwood Christian High School. During his seven years at Briarwood, Castille coached his sons -- running back Tim and cornerback Simeon - to two state championships. In 2003, he quit coaching to start a ministry, the Jeremiah Castille Foundation in Woodlawn, Alabama to provide tutoring and educational support to at-risk and underprivileged children.

Caleb's oldest brother, Tim Castille is former Crimson Tide running back and NFL player, who is now a graduate assistant coach under Nick Saban at the University of Alabama. Tim is a former fullback for the Arizona Cardinals ('08) and the Kansas City Chiefs ('09-'10). His other brother, Simeon Castille, is a former Alabama cornerback, who played for the Cincinnati Bengals ('08), San Diego Chargers ('09), Florida Tuskers ('10) and Minnesota Vikings ('10-'11) and is now a cornerback for the San Jose SaberCats of the Arena football league.
