Casey Siemaszko is an extremely versatile American actor, known for his roles in the 1980s
'Brat Pack' films, although over the last three decades he has notched up an impressive 60-plus film and TV appearances.
Siemaszko was born in Chicago, Illinois, to a Polish father and a British mother. His sister is actress
Nina Siemaszko. His first film role was in the
Rob Lowe
vehicle
Class (1983), which also featured
John Cusack,
Andrew McCarthy, and
Alan Ruck. He appeared with
Charlie Sheen and
Chad Lowe in
Silence of the Heart (1984)
and, the following year, in both
Secret Admirer (1985) with
C. Thomas Howell and
Back to the Future (1985) with
Michael J. Fox.
The second half of the 1980s showed no break from the
'Brat Pack'. Indeed, Casey took a role in the
Stephen King-adapted
and
Rob Reiner-directed
Stand by Me (1986) in which he
appeared alongside John Cusack,
Corey Feldman,
River Phoenix,
Kiefer Sutherland and
Wil Wheaton. He again appeared with Kiefer
Sutherland that same year in
Steven Spielberg's
Amazing Stories (1985). A
substantial role came with the
Matthew Broderick comedy,
Biloxi Blues (1988), and he reprised
his role as 3-D in the sequel,
Back to the Future Part II (1989).
He saw the 1980s out with a starring role in the Brat Pack blockbuster,
Young Guns (1988), alongside
Emilio Estevez, Charlie Sheen, Kiefer
Sutherland, and
Lou Diamond Phillips.
Casey has added a string of quality movies to his resume, including a
great performance in
Of Mice and Men (1992) directed
by - and starring -
Gary Sinise, and based
on the acclaimed novel by
John Steinbeck.
It seems he has left the
'Brat Pack' long behind, but nobody can deny the top notch performances he put into these great movies. In 2009, he appeared in the
Michael Mann film,
Public Enemies (2009).
Casey starred in the
Rob Lowe film,
Killing Kennedy (2013).
