Up until Torchwood and aside from frequently watching ‘Being Erica’ I never knew who Dillon Casey was, but the moment his character bedded Captain Jack Harkness, suddenly he was the most sought after person on the planet. Google search went nuts, and the sex scene with Jack and Brad went viral, and on a loop. Many of us still have it on Tumblr. But I wanted to know more of the actor behind the role, who he was, what else he did.
I discovered he had his own Youtube Channel and watched from start to present his ‘Living in LA’ series, where he plays himself in the continuing search for work, including ‘Gay Day’ episode 7 where he and Jamie Spilchuk – his flat mate, talk about his new role on Torchwood: Miracle Day as Brad, and the list of comments after he’d tweeted an alleged off the cuff remark on Twitter that lit the blue touch paper on After Elton.

Dillon Casey is a Canadian-American
actor, born October 29, 1983 in Dallas, Texas and raised in Oakville,
Ontario. He is one third of the Casey
Brothers company producing and featuring in the short films such as Captain
Coulier, Shirtgun Guy and Rudy the Red Faced Bachelor to name but a few.
Dillon has a string of television
credits from System Crash in 2001, Warehouse 13 – the pilot episode, (2009)
‘Being Erica (2009-2010), the ‘Vampire Diaries’ in the same year. ‘Skins’ ‘Torchwood’ (2011) and his latest
television credit as Sean Pierce in ‘Nikita’ from series 2 – April 2013. If you haven’t seen Nikita, do. If you recall a film back in the early 90’s
called ‘Point of No Return’ featuring Bridget Fonda this would be the best
description if you haven’t seen the series, and not yet bought the box-set.
Currently in production are Only I and
Splinter Cell: Black List (video game).
Project: Torchwood spoke with Dillon
as the afternoon sunshine streamed in through the curtains behind him, lighting
up the room. He wore a light grey or off
white t-shirt and his hair was loosely ruffled. It was around 18:10 in the
evening in the UK. The conversation was
light and helped to cover up the fact that I was absolutely nervous but Dillon
was the perfect gentleman who talked freely and openly about his life in front
of and behind the cameras. We talked of
the shows he appeared in, his scenes with John Barrowman in Miracle Day, on the
set of Nikita as Sean Pierce, Only I, his training for the shows, and tips on
film making. The interview flowed well
and I don’t think either of us could believe almost an hour had flown by. It was a brilliant interview and I loved
every minute of it.
Thank you Dillon
