Casey Deidrick, a new young actor, will skateboard his way into the hearts of Days of our Lives fans as Chad on the long-running NBC drama. A skateboarder for over 10 years, he even competed at the age of 17 in the 2004 Vans World Amateur Competition.

Casey is a native Californian, born in Santa Clara and raised in Arizona and Colorado, until his family ultimately settled in Hollister, California.

His first venture into theater was in his high school play, Carousel. He is inspired by actors like Leonardo DiCaprio and Heath Ledger.

Casey's other television credits include a recurring role on 90210 and a role on Hannah Montana. Casey also sings in the heavy metal band, A Dreadful Fall, which recently recorded for the first time. He is an avid reader, loves movies and listening to loud music, which he says, "no one understands!" ACME Saturday Night
