Biography

Originally from Philadelphia, Kevin McClatchy graduated from Washington & Lee University with a degree in Journalism and English and was captain of the basketball team as well. After two years working in sports marketing in his hometown, he moved to New York City to pursue a career in acting.

In New York, Kevin studied with two of the city's most respected acting
teachers -- Wynn Handman and Greg Zittel. Kevin's theater work in New York includes Tartuffe, Balm in Gilead, American Gothic and his one man show, Walking in the Shadow of the Big Man. His first role on television was a critically acclaimed turn as "Vinnie Morrison" on Guiding Light. This was followed by a two-year run on Another World playing the role of "Nick Hudson." During this time, Kevin also made his film debut in the arthouse hit Boy's Life and appeared in the independent film The Curse.

Shortly after Kevin and his wife Lisa relocated to Los Angeles, he landed roles on ER, That 70s Show, The X-Files, The Practice and several other primetime shows. He also returned to New York for four months to play the role of "Brian Harris" on One Life to Live. In addition, Kevin was part of the ensemble cast of the independent film 5 Card Stud, which included Krystyne Haje and Jeff Parise. Following the birth of their daughter Eirann, Kevin and Lisa began to split time between Los Angeles and Lisa's hometown of Columbus, OH.

Since then, Kevin has appeared in the ABC movie The Pennsylvania Miner's Story, guest-starred alongside Terry O'Quinn on the CBS hit NCIS and portrayed "Gen. Jeffrey Amherst" in the PBS mini-series The War That Made America. He also starred in Red Herring Theatre Ensemble's production of Dinner With Friends at the Riffe Center in Columbus.

In the summer of '05, Kevin had the recurring role of "Evan Tucker" on General Hospital and in the spring of '06 appeared on The Young and The Restless as "Kurt Dornbush."

Kevin stars in two independent films slated for release in 2008 -- the indie thriller The Lodge and the recently-completed satire And The Winner is... Kevin will also be seen in the indie drama Minus One.

Kevin currently teaches acting classes in downtown Columbus and also spent a semester teaching at the Columbus College of Art and Design. As a writer, Kevin is represented by Jeffrey Melnick and Janette Jensen Hoffman of Eighth Square in Los Angeles, whose clients include Pulitzer-Prize winner Sam Shephard, Lee Blessing, Charles Busch and James Duff, the creator of TNT's The Closer.
