Kevin McKidd

A Scottish television and film actor and director.

He is known for his prominent television roles, including his performances as Owen Hunt in Grey's Anatomy and Lucius Vorenus in the Historical Drama series Rome. He has recently gained prominence as a voice actor in the form of Captain John "Soap" Mactavish in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and its upcoming sequel Modern Warfare 3.

After playing Tommy in 'Trainspotting', McKidd was cast as Father Deegan in the 1996 Christmas episode of 'Father Ted.' Subsequent roles include Malky Johnson in Small Faces. In 2004, he played James Hepburn, 4th Earl of Bothwell, the third husband of Mary, Queen of Scots, in the BBC mini-series Gunpowder, Treason & Plot.

In 1999 he was part of an ensemble cast in Mike Leigh's Topsy Turvy, based on the writing and rehearsal for Gilbert and Sullivan's The Mikado. The actors researched their historical characters and used this knowledge during extensive rehearsals to help develop dialog for scenes blocked out by Leigh. McKidd, like the rest of the cast, did his own singing in the Gilbert & Sullivan operettas portrayed in the film.

In 2001 he played Elliot in a British film by Caleb Lindsay called "Understanding Jane".

He appeared in Ridley Scott's Kingdom of Heaven, the 2002 film adaptation of Nicholas Nickleby. In Neil Marshall's horror film, Dog Soldiers, he appeared as Pte Lawrence Cooper. In the 2005 BBC drama, The Virgin Queen, he played Thomas Howard, 4th Duke of Norfolk.

In 1998, McKidd was in the 4-part BBC2 series Looking After Jo Jo, playing the role of Basil. He was also one of the stars of the joint HBO/BBC series Rome, where his portrayal of the soldier/politician Lucius Vorenus received critical acclaim.

Additional work includes his role in the Silence of the Lambs prequel Hannibal Rising (2007). In late 2007, McKidd began his role as the lead character in the American Fantasy television series Journeyman on NBC. The show suffered from low ratings and only thirteen episodes were produced.

McKidd currently appears on Grey's Anatomy as Dr. Owen Hunt. McKidd has done voice work and voiced the character of Jezz Torrent, flame haired lead singer of the fictional Scottish hard rock band Love Fist in the video games "Grand Theft Auto: Vice City". He is also credited with playing a voice-over for the character "Soap" MacTavish in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

He won the award for "Best Performance in a Drama Series Multi-Episode Storyline" at the 14th Prism Awards for his work as Owen Hunt on "Grey's Anatomy".
