Uncle Casey

Uncle Casey Howard-Porter is the deuteragonist of the live-action film Clifford The Big Red Dog.
He is played by Jack Whitehall who did an excellent job in the movie pretending he doesn't have a British accent even though he actually does.
== Role in film ==
His first appearance in the movie is the scene after Emily and her mom mention him; he's about to get a parking ticket for having his van parked in a specific spot for too long. After the police officer tries to show him the parking ticket, he stated that he has a place to be (seriously, but it was also in attempt to scratch what the officer was trying to get him to do).
While Uncle Casey was at where he was headed, he uses hand sanitizer in attempt to make himself look nice; then after an associate smart-mouths him about him being late, he takes a handful of jellybeans from a complementary bowl and states "Lunch". After he gets mad about how the associate didn't let him pretend that he wasn't late, he takes it out on the wall between the elevators.
Emily's mom still has to participate with a case in Chicago, but she's out of ideas on people to have Emily stay with other than Uncle Casey (her brother); so, she resorts to him. Uncle Casey gets enthused, but Emily gets in shock. After Emily's mom shows Uncle Casey how she wants him to make things work, Uncle Casey states that he accidently lost the keys to the apartment; but then Emily's mom finds the keys on the door, and it turns out Uncle Casey was just messing with her to be silly.
After Uncle Casey turns into Emily's partner with collecting cans and bottles for her school's fundraising, they end up entering an animal rescue tent where they meet Bridwell. Uncle Casey tells him they're not looking for a pet. Even so, he lets Uncle Casey and Emily end up finding Clifford, His red color triggers Emily's enthusiasm; then after Emily gets the desire to adopt him because of how cute he is, Uncle Casey tells her she can't, and sarcastically thanks Bridwell for giving him the ability to crush Emily's dreams.
After Emily comes home from getting humiliated at school, Uncle Casey asks her how her day was, she doesn't respond, and Uncle Casey sarcastically states "Good talk". A few moments later while Uncle Casey is getting things ready for supper, he notices Clifford, and accuses Emily of completely ignoring him even though Emily just magically found Clifford in her backpack. Emily begs Uncle Casey to let Clifford stay, and he mildly comes to his sentences and tells her just one night because she can't have a dog because of a promise Uncle Casey made to Emily's mom.
The next day after Clifford becomes huge, Emily nervously starts mentioning him to Uncle Casey, and he decides to scratch keeping his promise to Emily's mom not to let her have a dog (supposedly because of how adorably he saw her fall asleep with Clifford). But then he ends up seeing Clifford face to face. He miss-takes Clifford for a monster, panics, and tells Emily to escape with him through the window "Uncles and children first!"; but Emily states that it's the dog from Bridwell's animal rescue tent. Still mildly in shock, Uncle Casey points out that Clifford wasn't that big last night; then Emily states that she thinks something happened to him. Still panicking, Uncle Casey Googles "Bridwell's animal rescue" on his phone; and then he gets in panic shock after he doesn't get any search results.
After Uncle Casey recovers from his panic attack, he states what happened to Clifford as the craziest thing he's ever seen; then he says it might be a good idea to return him; Emily begs to differ because Clifford needs them. Her recommendation is to substitute that with taking Clifford to see a vet because he might still be growing. After that concept scares Uncle Casey opening his eyes wide, he agrees that a vet is a good idea.
Then he takes Emily and Clifford to his van. At the vet, what made Clifford grow so big is still a mystery. The veterinarian couldn't figure it out, but the person at the front desk was able to which was a shock. After the word about Clifford gets spread, Emily and her mom are evicted from the apartment, Uncle Casey blames himself for it after he tells Emily a backstory, and he declares himself as the reason why what happened did.
A few seconds later, Zac Tieran shows up to try and claim Clifford with bribery of money in exchange for him pretending he was part of Lyfegro to begin with which was false. Not thinking about how Zac was attempting trickery, Uncle Casey had all of his focus on reclaiming ownership of the apartment that Emily and her mom live in, but Emily was smart enough to know that Zac was just making up a story; and it fails his first attempt to make Clifford part of his company.
After some time getting chased by Zac and some other members from Lyfegro, Uncle Casey and his friends end up in a battle against them in a convenience store. After the victory of that goes to Uncle Casey, he walks out of the building, sees Emily driving his van, and does a shocked facial expression "Her mother is literally going to kill me".
Owen takes Uncle Casey, Emily, and Clifford to the apartment building he lives in. After it's discovered that the police are after Clifford, A decision gets made to send Clifford to Shanghai China in order to prevent Lyfegro from capturing him, but that doesn't work. the next day after Uncle Casey offers Emily some coffee, he gets a "fun text" from her mom expressing that she's mad at him for inadvertently getting her evicted. After Owen has them fallow him into a convenience store, it becomes official that Clifford was stolen by Lyfegro, and Uncle Casey commits to helping Emily steal him back.
After Emily and Uncle Casey get another phone call from Emily's mom, they both get the concept that they're in the literal doghouse with her: "I'm grounded for life aren't I?" "You and me both!" as her brother and daughter.
In phase one of stealing back Clifford, Uncle Casey cuts a hole through the fence around the Lyfegro facility to enter the building with Emily and the rest of his partners, and into the room where Clifford was being restrained; They end up having to fight off some of the staff members until Uncle Casey has the cattle prod in his hand, and he threatens them with it telling them to take a hike.
After they exit the building and Clifford escapes with Emily; Uncle Casey sees a news reporter, and he seizes the opportunity to try and make everyone realize that Clifford was never part of Lyfegro to begin with, and that he belongs to Emily. After Uncle Casey gets to where Emily and Clifford were headed, there are still people who believe Clifford is property of Lyfegro even though he isn't; but Emily diplomatically takes care of that. And Zac Tieran gives calling Clifford his property another try after he does a sarcastic applause; but he fails again (This time perpetually), and finally gets apprehended to face the comeuppance he's been due for. And Uncle Casey and the rest of the group do a group picture to celebrate their victory. After it becomes okay with everyone that Emily has a dog; Uncle Casey ends up moving out of his van, getting a proper job, and finally getting an apartment of his own. And Emily and her mom get the ownership of their apartment back.
