Actor

Casey first got his start in the entertainment industry when he was three years old. In 2007, Casey's 9-year old sister, Sabrina, wanted to become an actress. So, Casey and Sabrina's mom took her to audition for an agency and three-year old Casey came along too. Just like now, back then Casey was very talkative and outgoing. In the waiting room, Casey just started chatting to some of the talent agents in the room on his own. Afterwards, the agents asked if they could please sign Casey too. A few years later, Casey's sister stopped acting, but Casey never has. His first role was on a short-lived sketch-comedy called "Frank TV" on TBS. In his episode, three-year old Casey was supposed to have only two lines. Then when actor Frank Caliendo took his candy cane in the scene, he accidently ended up pushing Casey off his lap so hard that he fell onto the ground and the entire crew gasped. Toddler Casey stood right back up and shouted "Hey, That's My Candy!" and Frank went along with it. Casey's first ad-lib worked so well that executive producers put it into the final TV cut.

A few years after Frank TV, Casey booked the role of young Neil Patrick Harris in an episode of "How I Met Your Mother"! Unfortunately when Casey came in for a fitting for the show, the scene was cut. Casey continued to become a regular working actor doing lots of national commercials and short films. Then, in 2011, Casey booked his first ever TV movie, "Five". The film was about exploring the impact of breast cancer on people's lives. It was directed by Jennifer Anniston, Demi Moore, and Alicia Keys. Casey played Jennifer Morrison's (star of Once Upon a Time) son "Buddy," a laid back 7-year-old who loved outer space and astronauts.

2013 was a very big year for Casey. To start off with, Casey became the spokesperson for Campbell soup. In a series of 10 national commercials, Casey was flown out to NYC to become the "wisest kid in the world," who was forever 9, had a beard, and lived on a mountain top.

Next, Casey's agent got a call saying that Universal Pictures wanted Casey to be a voice in the feature film Despicable Me 2! After that, Casey auditioned for "Bukowski", a feature film about the life of Charles Bukowski, written and directed by James Franco. Casey ended up getting second place for the lead kid role, but James and the producers liked him so much, they wrote in a role just for him, and wrote him his own role in James Franco's next movie, Memoria too!

A few months later, Casey booked a guesting role in ABC's hit show "The Goldbergs".

Less than two weeks later, Casey became one of the leads, "Ricky", on a new pilot titled "Nicky, Ricky, Dicky, and Dawn. The show was picked up in 2014, and has been going ever since.

Before Casey started shooting season one of NRDD, he shot his role in James Franco's "Memoria", later released in 2015. After that, Casey played himself on the TV show "React to That" based off of the successful YouTube channel, "Kids React". Later in 2014, the Campbell soup wisest kid campaign Casey did, was so successful, that they filmed 5 additional commercials with Casey in LA.

In 2015, Casey filmed the lead guest star role in "The Thundermans" as Harris Evilman, an 11 year-old boy who starts off sweet and shy, but then becomes an evil villian. A few months afterwards, Casey played himself in the "HoHoHoliday Special".

2016 brought Casey's biggest role yet. Casey plays the lead character in the upcoming movie "Escape From Mr. Lemoncello's Library", based off of the best-selling book. The film was shot in Vancouver, BC, where Casey brought to life the role of the protagonist, 12-year old Kyle Keeley. The author of the wildly popular book, Chris Grabenstine, even came to visit set!

So far, in 2017, Casey has been nominated for "Favorite Male TV Actor" for the Kids Choice Awards for the second time, has been shooting season 4 of "Nicky, Ricky, Dicky and Dawn" and been recording voice over and ADR, for "Escape From Mr. Lemoncello's Library" that will be released in a few months. He has been doing tons of projects in other areas of entertainment like hosting, singing, and creating content.
