Kevin McKidd was born and raised in Elgin, Scotland, the son of
Kathleen, a secretary, and Neil McKidd, a plumber. He was a member of
the Moray Youth Theatre, before going on to study Engineering at the
University of Edinburgh. While at the 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 the
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 (1995). His next role was
as the tragic, gentle giant, "Tommy", in
Lối Sống Đồi Trụy (1996).
