Casey Calvert (born March 17, 1990)[1] is the stage name of an American pornographic actress.

Early life

Calvert was born in Baltimore, Maryland and raised in Gainesville, Florida.[1] She was raised conservative Jewish and attended synagogue every Saturday morning until her Bat Mitzvah, after which her family switched to a reform synagogue and began attending only on the holidays.[2] In 2012, she graduated magna cum laude from the University of Florida with a Bachelor of Science in Film Production and minors in zoology and anthropology.[6][7][8]

Career

Calvert began working as a fetish and art model in the spring of her junior year of college.[8] She chose her stage name in honor of professor Clay Calvert after taking his class on Mass Media Law as a sophomore.[9] She stated that "It felt right because really if I hadn’t taken his class, I wouldn’t be where I am right now," referring to how she learned during his class that pornography wasn't illegal as she had initially thought.[9] She also stated that the first name "Casey" was derived from the initials of her celebrity crush's children, K.C., but did not specify who she was referring to.[8] She entered the adult film industry on November 5, 2012.[4][8] Her first scene was for the studio SexArt.[10]

In September 2015, Calvert was hired to write a monthly BDSM and fetish-themed column for GameLink's The Naked Truth blog and answer consumer questions in a section of their website titled "Casey’s Corner".[11] She has also written about pornography for The Huffington Post.[12]

Calvert has also tried to pursue a mainstream acting and modeling career, but potential employers have refused to hire her because of her work in porn.[13] She states that she has been recognized even while auditioning under her legal name.[13]

Personal life

Calvert identifies as a feminist.[2][5]
