Casey Calvert, born Sarah Michelle Goldberger on March 17, 1990, in Baltimore, Maryland, and raised in Gainesville, Florida, is a prominent American pornographic actress, director, writer, and producer. From a Conservative Jewish family, she attended synagogue until her Bat Mitzvah, later embracing Reform Judaism. She earned a telecommunications degree from the University of Florida, with minors in anthropology and zoology. Her stage name honors professor Clay Calvert, whose class illuminated pornography's legal protections.
At age 21, Calvert began as a fetish and art model before debuting in hardcore adult films in November 2012 with SexArt. Specializing in BDSM, anal, and group scenes, she has garnered acclaim, winning the 2017 AVN Award for Best Group Sex Scene in 'Orgy Masters 8,' XRCO Unsung Siren Awards in 2015 and 2018, and the 2016 GameLink Tournament.
Transitioning to behind-the-camera work, she directed 'Maid for Each Other' (2019) for Adult Time, co-wrote and directed 'The Starlet' for Pure Taboo, and helmed Erika Lust's 'Primary' series (2020). A prolific writer for Huffington Post, Cosmopolitan, and others, she advocates as a feminist for informed sex work.
Married to director Eli Cross since 2013, with whom she collaborates, Calvert resides in Los Angeles and enjoys family support for her career.
