Hey there, TV fans! Last week, the mid-season premiere of Grey’s Anatomy introduced us to a brand-new character who's already making waves. Alex Blue Davis joined the show as Dr. Casey Parker, a fresh face at Grey Sloan Memorial. Now, this isn’t just any ordinary intern. Dr. Parker isn’t only a gifted doctor—let’s be real, what surgeon at GSM isn’t amazing?—but he’s also a tech wizard. After single-handedly helping Dr. Miranda Bailey thwart a major Internet hack on the hospital, fans are clamoring to learn more about him. So, keep reading to dive deeper into the world of Alex Blue Davis!
Now here’s something that really caught everyone’s attention: At the end of the episode, it was revealed that Dr. Parker is a transgender man. This revelation had fans buzzing and wondering if Grey’s Anatomy had cast a transgender actor for the role. In a powerful moment, Dr. Parker told Dr. Bailey, “I’m a proud trans man, Dr. Bailey.” He continued, emphasizing, “I like for people to get to know me before they find out my medical history.”

The showrunners seized this as an opportunity to bring more representation to the beloved drama. Showrunner Krista Vernoff shared with The Hollywood Reporter, “We worked very hard and very closely with Alex and GLAAD on this storyline.” She added, “The scene in which Casey disclosed to Bailey that he was a ‘proud trans man’ was rewritten more times than anything else—we wanted it exactly right. We wanted the audience to get to know this character before they knew his private medical information; we wanted his disclosure to feel genuine, like an unfolding of this character’s truth when he felt safe with someone.”
Chances are, Alex Blue Davis might already look familiar to you. Before joining the world of Grey’s Anatomy, he made appearances on some big-name TV shows. Back in 2017, he starred on CBS’ hit series NCIS, and in 2015, he appeared on NCIS: LA. But that’s not all—he’s also a key player in the digital-only Grey’s spin-off, B-Team.
This six-episode web series, directed by Grey’s star Sarah Drew (who plays April Kepner), focuses on the new interns as they embark on their medical careers. Alongside Dr. Casey Parker, we’ll get to know a group of vibrant new characters, including Samantha “Sam” Bello (played by So You Think You Can Dance alum Jeanine Mason), Levi Schmitt (Jake Borelli), Dahlia Qadri (Sophia Taylor Ali), Taryn Helm (Jaicy Elliot), and Vik Roy (Rushi Kota). It’s a fresh take on the Grey’s universe that’s sure to keep fans entertained.
Let’s talk about Alex Blue Davis’s other talents. Born and raised in LA, this star isn’t just an actor—he’s also an indie musician. And here’s the fun part: he managed to combine his love for music and acting by posting a video of himself singing a song from Grey’s on Twitter. Could this mean we’re in for another musical episode? Fans are crossing their fingers, hoping for another delightful crossover of music and medicine.
