Former student and NIDA Graduate, Class of 1994

Kevin was special and dear to me – taught me so much – I loved his fierce honesty – he gave us everything.

Generous of spirit – passionate. I was privileged enough to have been taught by him, Directed by him in First year in Thornton Wilder’s “Skin Of Our Teeth”, and most especially to have known him.

I always felt that Kevin loved women, he loved our strength and our prowess and our complications. As a 21 year old young drama student, I always felt held up by Kevin, challenged by Kevin in a loving and constructive way.

He did not ever want to see or settle for mediocrity when life and art is great, greater. I love and will be forever grateful that he passed that on to me. Don’t settle. Detail. High expectations. Your craft is everything – practise it. And I do. I take this practice today into every job, every role, every project. I am indebted to this beautiful man. God rest his soul and may he fly high where he belongs in everlasting memory.

My heart is full of love for you.
