McCasland has directed multiple episodes of Dr. Gangrene's Creature Feature which airs on Nashville's CW affiliate, WNAB.[12] He has worked with Larry Underwood (who portrays Doctor Gangrene), as an actor on the show as well as appearing as himself on the half-hour show Chiller Cinema (the show changed titles when it moved to a two-hour format).
