Speaking to Bravo about her Housewives parody Hotwives of Orlando, Casey said, "My research process (and someone had to do it) was to watch Every. Single. Episode. Of. Every. Single. Season. And. City." She then added, "I am a method actress so I also pulled a friend's hair out and drank a gallon of Chard before every scene."

Her life is an open book. And that book has kinda sorta been turned into a sitcom.

According to The New York Times, the upcoming Marry Me is loosely based on Wilson's five-month engagement to her husband, writer (and Marry Me creator) David Caspe.

Even if you can't be Casey Wilson's real-life BFF (but who knows?), you can at least hang out with her once a week, Tuesdays at 9/8c, only on NBC.
