Beyond his voice work, Takamine had an extensive career in live-action film and television, appearing in numerous movies from the 1970s through the 1990s. His on-screen roles include appearances in the 1983 film The Ballad of Narayama, where he played the character Arayashiki, and in the 1998 film School III, where he played Onizuka.

In the field of anime voice acting, Casey Takamine is best known for his role as Bob Adams in the 1985 anime film Penguin's Memory: Shiawase Monogatari.

While his filmography is extensive, his recognized voice acting role in anime is primarily centered on this single feature film, and there is no widely documented record of him holding multiple major roles in the anime industry. His nickname was Doctor, reportedly a satirical homage to the American television doctor Ben Casey, which also inspired his stage name.
