Dillon Casey (born October 29, 1983) is a Canadian-American actor and producer. He is best known for his role as Trevor Lemonde in the television series MVP. He has appeared in The Best Years and 11 Cameras, among other works in television, film and on stage.
Casey was born in Las Vegas, Nevada and raised in Oakville, Ontario.[2] His father, Richard, is an urologist, and his mother, Patrice, is an image consultant. After graduating from Oakville Trafalgar High School, Casey attended McGill University in Montreal to study science. He moved to Toronto "just to return to his roots" where he was chosen to play the role of "Trevor Lemonde" in a short running CBC show called MVP. The show garnered attention for the actor, putting him on a giant billboard in his underwear in Times Square.[3] Casey relocated to Los Angeles, California in January, 2009.
In July 2011, Casey appeared as Brad in "Dead of Night", the third episode of Torchwood: Miracle Day.[4]
After appearances as guest star in shows like The Vampire Diaries and Being Erica, he was cast as Sean Pierce, a Navy Seal, in the action show Nikita as a regular character. The show was renewed for a third season that began airing in October 2012.
He obtained his first lead role for the movie Creature which was released in September 2011. The movie was unsuccessful both at the box office and with most critics; Sean was cast afterward in the 2012 Valentine movie The Vow. The movie was successful at the box office and is currently the fourth-highest weekend debut of 2012.
