Mini Biography
Kevin McKidd was brought up in Elgin, Scotland and was a member of the Moray Youth Theatre before going on to study Engineering at the University of Edinburgh. While at university Kevin became involved with Bedlam Theatre, the university's student theatre company. At this point Kevin decided to give up on engineering and dropped out of university to pursue acting full-time. In 1994 he landed the leading role in the stageplay 'The Silver Darlings', produced by Robert Carlyle's Rain Dog Theatre Company. It was only a matter of time before Kevin made his screen debut as the vicious gangleader Malky Johnson in Gillies Mackinnon's Small Faces (1996). His next role was as the tragic, gentle giant Tommy in Trainspotting (1996).

Trivia
Tommy, his Trainspotting character, was the only main character not to feature in the poster campaign. This was because Kevin went on holiday straight after filming finished, and missed the photo-shoot.
Left a university course in engineering to audition for the Queen Margaret Drama School.
Has a son named Joseph (born 2000) and a daughter named Iona (born 2002).
Played a Roman on "Rome" (2005) and a Barbarian on The Last Legion (2007).
