Thursday Morning Man: Casey Jon Deidrick!

Today’s Morning Man stands 6 feet, 4 inches tall and cites Leonardo DiCaprio and the late Heath Ledger as his acting inspirations.

He’s Casey Jon Deidrick who has played Chad on NBC’s Day of Our Lives since 2009.

I know I like him for two reasons alone: He’s a big fan of Glee and he and girlfriend (and co-star) Molly Burnett supported marriage equality by posing for the NOH8 campaign (see photo below).

Prior to his role on the soap, he appeared on 90210 and Wizards of Waverly Place.

When Casey is not busy acting,he makes music with A Dreadful Fall, which he describes as a “metalcore/hardcore band.” He has also been skateboarding for more than 10 years, and competed in the 2004 Vans World Amateur Competition.
