Alex Blue Davis appeared on "2 Broke Girls" and "NCIS," but he is most famous for playing intern Dr. Casey Parker on "Grey's Anatomy." In a powerful moment on the show, Davis comes out as trans, telling Chandra Wilson's character, "I'm a proud trans man, Dr. Bailey. I like for people to get to know me before they find out my medical history."
For Davis, the moment was incredibly significant. "What's cool about the show, the episode and Krista's vision for this character is he's about way more than being trans," he told The Hollywood Reporter in 2018. "I cried at the table read. It was very moving for me. I've been waiting for a moment like this on TV my whole life. I am so honored I got to say that line on TV because it's a long time coming."
His character is a role model in more ways than one. "He's a doctor, a techie, a veteran, a lover of blueberries; those are the things about himself he deals with on a daily basis. He's got a great perspective about life so I think he's a cool role model for trans folks who are finding themselves and a great teacher for people who aren't trans," Davis said to The Jacket Journal in 2019 of his "Grey's Anatomy" character. "He's even a great role model for me personally because he's so disciplined and focused. Quite a clever problem solver."
The Los Angeles native is also a musician and songwriter. In 2019, he combined his talents to create a mixtape called "Songs For Surgery," in which he covers some of the most famous songs from the "Grey's Anatomy" soundtrack. As for his personal life, he lives in LA, is a proud vegan, and has three children with his wife, Miranda Russo.
