Kevin Zegers

Since his work in The Jane Austen Book Club, Kevin Zegers has been filming Normal, directed by Carl Bessai, playing the lead role of Jordie, a teenager who made a wrong choice and has paid the price, but cannot stop his journey downward.

In 2006 and 2007, Kevin starred in three independent movies including The Stone Angel, alongside Ellen Burstyn and Cole Hauser; Gardens of the Night, starring John Malkovich and Jeremy Sisto; and It’s a Boy/Girl Thing for Elton John’s Rocket Pictures.

In a bold move, Kevin selected the 2005 indie film Transamerica, which gave him the opportunity to further challenge his skills. He stars as a drug-addled hustler living on the streets who dreams of meeting the father he never knew—who turns out to be a conservative transsexual (Felicity Huffman). The film has achieved critical and award acclaim. Prior to Transamerica, Kevin starred in Dawn of the Dead, Universal’s remake of the 1979 apocalyptic horror classic by George A. Romero. He was also seen in Showtime’s feature The Incredible Mrs. Ritchie, starring opposite Hollywood legends Gena Rowlands and James Caan.

Kevin has played professional roles since the age of seven when he landed a gig playing the younger version of Michael J. Fox’s character in Life With Mikey. Since then, he has worked continuously, appearing in over 20 films and numerous television movies and series, including on film the Air Bud franchise; MVP: Most Valuable Primate; Komodo with Jill Hennessy (Crossing Jordan); Four Days with Colm Meaney and William Forsythe; It Came From the Sky with John Ritter, Yasmine Bleeth and Christopher Lloyd; Treasure Island with Jack Palance and Nico the Unicorn with Anne Archer.
