Career

Calvert began working as a fetish and art model in the spring of her junior year of college. She chose her stage name in honor of professor Clay Calvert after taking his class on Mass Media Law as a sophomore. 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. 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 to whom she was referring.
She entered the adult film industry on 5 November 2012. Her first scene was for the studio SexArt. Mark Spiegler is her agent, but she also does custom shoots. Calvert has described her career as: "Being a porn star is just like having any other job, except you're naked on the Internet".
In September 2015, Calvert was hired to write a monthly BDSM and fetish-themed column for GameLink's The Naked Truth blog, and to answer reader questions on their website. She has also written about pornography for The Huffington Post. 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. She states that she has been recognized even while auditioning under her legal name.
