It was only after a serious accident that Casey decided to change focus, putting down the skateboard and picking up scripts for acting.
2. Studied Theater and Psychology
Part of the reason Casey has such range in his acting work relates to his motivation and drive. That said, it probably didn’t hurt that he studied theater and psychology.
While living in Denver earlier in his life, he spent a year at Metropolitan State College. And it’s worth noting that That’s kind of cool, don’t you think?
3. Former Waiter
Imagine ordering lunch at a restaurant and having Casey serve it to you. Well, for some people, that actually happened. And that’s because Casey used to be a waiter.
Yep, when he moved to Los Angeles at 19 to begin his acting career, he supported himself by waiting tables. It wasn’t long before he got snapped up in television, because in 2009 he landed the part of Chad in Days of Our Lives.
And did I mention he also appeared on Wizards of Waverly Place?
