Casey Wilson Wiki, Biography
Casey Wilson was born and raised in Alexandria, Virginia. She graduated from T. C. Williams High School in 1998 and studied theater at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts and at the Stella Adler Studio of Acting, where she was a recipient of NYU’s “Excellence in Acting” award when graduating in 2002.
She is of Irish and Italian heritage, and was raised Baptist. Her parents worked in politics, and she credits her politically opposed parents (her mother was a Democrat, her father a Republican) in shaping her sense of humor, having grown up in a “blue-state/red-state, forever-clashing political household”, as she called it in an interview with Washington Flyer.[citation needed] She also has a younger brother, Fletcher.
Her father, Paul O. Wilson, is a political strategist and consultant who runs campaigns for Republican party candidates.[10] Her mother, Kathy Higdon, was a women’s rights advocate and served as the chairwoman of the National Women’s Political Caucus (NWPC) throughout the 1980s.[5] Under Higdon’s leadership, the NWPC endorsed Walter Mondale in the 1984 presidential election.[5]
Kathy Higdon Wilson retired from politics in the late 1980s; switching to a career in early childhood education, she began serving as the director of childcare and development centers in Alexandria, Virginia in 1991.[5] She died of heart failure at age 54 in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware on September 1, 2005.[5] Casey Wilson and her family have since continued to run the Kathy Wilson Foundation, a charitable organization honoring her mother’s work in helping children with disabilities.[11]
Wilson’s passion for performing began at an early age, and she has said that her first memorable exposure to theater came when her father took her to New York City to see a production of Cats, inspiring her to create her own plays.[
Personal life
Wilson lives in Los Angeles and is married to comedy writer David Caspe. They originally met in early 2010 when she auditioned for his ABC series Happy Endings. After working together on the show for over a year, they started dating in July 2011.[33] They got engaged over Labor Day weekend in September 2013 and were married on May 25, 2014 in Ojai, California.[34] They have two sons, Max Red Caspe (born May 2015)[35] and Henry Bear Caspe (born August 24, 2017).[36] When her son Max was four years old, he was diagnosed with celiac disease, an immune disorder affecting the small intestine.
Wilson shares her family’s interest in politics. She was a supporter of Hillary Clinton during the 2008 presidential election and volunteered on her campaign. She went on the road with the Clintons in the Midwest, speaking at and introducing Hillary and Bill Clinton at campaign rallies in Iowa and Indiana.[6]
Wilson and her family maintain the charitable Kathy Wilson Foundation, established in 2005, which focuses on children with disabilities. The foundation screens three- and four-year-olds in the Alexandria community for disabilities. Her father Paul Wilson serves as president, with Wilson and her brother Fletcher serving as vice presidents.[11] The foundation distributes donations and grants to local area preschools and childcare centers in Virginia every year.
