Sharing His Journey Through Music and Theater

Grey’s Anatomy
Davis became widely recognized when he joined Grey’s Anatomy as Dr. Casey Parker.
Parker is a surgical intern, military veteran, and skilled computer hacker who is also a transgender man. Instead of making his transgender identity his entire personality, the series presented it as one part of a much larger character.
That approach was especially meaningful to Davis.
He later explained that the role helped create space for transgender characters to be portrayed as complete people whose lives and personalities involve much more than their gender identity.
