Casey Rogers
Casey Rogers, (commonly referred to as "Casey the Alien"), is a fictional character on the ABC soap opera General Hospital. He was portrayed by Bradley Lockerman in 1990, who also played identical character Shep Casey upon Casey Rogers' departure.
Casting
Lockerman originally auditioned for the role of Jonathon Paget (a.k.a. Duke Lavery). Instead, General Hospital producers created the entirely new character Casey Rogers specifically for Lockerman, who took it as a blessing in disguise. Lockerman stated, "In real terms, it is kind of off the wall, I never in my life thought I'd have this kind of part, but I love it.
