Your gateway to endless inspiration
Casey has actually said in an interview that he wishes he had more lines or at least more scenes.
I wonder if having a “not that important” and “serie regular but kind of ruccuring” role on Riverdale is enough for Casey, or if he wants more (like being a main in another show). I wonder if he sometimes feels like Kevin could just not be there for several episodes and nothing would change. He must love the cast and production team very much, because apart from that, I don’t know why he would stay if acting is something that he loves and wants to make a career of.
It’s a tough call. I mean, right now he’s basically getting a check without having to do all that much for it, but I imagine he must end up feeling kind of left out from the rest of the cast, and in interviews, he frequently seems to have to grasp at straws about his plots just to have something to says. I definitely think, though, that the actor is capable of much more and that he knows it. I know his argument with Betty in S2 is usually used as a way to show how “awful of a friend” and “horrid” he is to Betty, but I thought he did such a good job with the emotion the scene required.
And I also feel that he really does love his cast mates. He always seemed to love taking photos with all of them, he and KJA had that silly post for Lili’s birthday, he wrote that parody in-character love confession for Lili, Mark came to his defense when fans were criticizing him, and he a very touching tribute for Luke when he passed away. I would guess that the conflict for Casey could be going up an unfulfilling but comfortable job in favor of taking a risk and finding something different, but that’s just a guess.
