His childhood exposure to live theater set the hook and performances throughout his high school years helped him channel that desire to perform on stage, behind a microphone and in front of and behind the camera for more than 40 years. His high school career began with high school closed circuit broadcasts of daily news. Castiglione went on to pursue a broadcast journalism degree and stints at both the campus radio station at Bowling Green State University (WFAL) and then off-campus at WFOB, Fostoria, Ohio as a sportscaster. He developed, produced, sold sponsorship and launched the first radio show in the country that exclusively covered women's sports in 1973(according to WomenSports Magazine - a publication owned then by Billie Jean King). He followed that with the first live broadcast of a women's intercollegiate basketball game at Bowling Green, that same year. His sales and marketing acumen led him to a career in marketing, post-graduation, and included modeling and voiceover work while working for a Cleveland, Ohio advertising agency. Fast forward to 2012 and the start of his youngest son, Giovanni's budding career in live theater and film and the acting 'bug' bit again. Now as the Northeast Ohio film industry builds critical momentum and notoriety, Denny has emerged from background artist in various independent and feature films shot in Ohio into a variety of supporting and feature roles on camera and production leadership positions, as well. A devoted 'home town boy', Castiglione is heavily invested in shining a favorable light on the film industry in Ohio and contributing to both its quality and growth going forward.

Denny Doherty was born and reared in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada and began his musical career there in a local rock band, The Hepsters, while working in a pawn shop. He had started singing in public at age 15, on a dare by performing "Love Letters In The Sand" in a skating rink-turned-dance-hall. In 1959 he formed his first folk trio, The Colonials, and after changing their name to The Halifax Three, signed a recording contract in New York. After recording two albums, the trio broke up, and Denny linked with Cass Elliot as a member of her group, The Big Three, which later became The Mugwumps, the first folk-rock group. Cass and Denny later joined John and Michelle Phillips of The New Journeymen to become The Mamas and The Papas. In 1965 the group relocated to Los Angeles where, over the next four years, they turned out a score of top-selling albums and singles featuring Doherty and Elliot's lead vocals, including "California Dreamin'," "Monday Monday" and "I Saw Her Again." Upon the collapse of the group, Denny recorded two solo albums, and material for an unreleased third. (One of these albums reunited him with former Mamas Michelle and Cass as they sang background vocals for 1974's Waiting For A Song.). Doherty played the lead in Andy Warhol and John Phillips' Man on the Moon on Broadway in 1975 and Doherty was cast in The Irish Art Centre's Juno and the Paycock. In 1978 he returned to Canada and hosted "Denny's Sho" on Canadian television. During the 1980s he reunited with fellow Papa, John Phillips in The New Mamas and Papas and toured the United States as well as Europe and Asia. Having returned to home in Canada, Doherty's many stage credits there include North Mountain Breakdown, Needfire and Paul Ledoux's Fire as well as The Secret Garden. Film/TV credits include "Pit Pony" and The Harbourmaster in "Theodore Tugboat." Denny was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 1996; The Mamas and The Papas were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998, and the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 2001. In recent years, Doherty told the tale of his life with The Mamas and The Papas, in Dream A Little Dream which ran in Halifax, Toronto, and finally Off-Broadway in 2003.
