PW: This is the second series you’re on where you play one half of a bromance (with Cameron on “Trauma” and Street on “FNL”), what is it about you that just attracts these parts?
Kevin: [laughs] I don’t know. I think Scott [Porter] and Derek [Luke] are just great guys and better actors. I actually think my bromance with Scott on “FNL” was one of the reasons they brought me over to “Trauma.” It really shows the fluidity of a paramedic and EMT’s partnership. What I love about this kind of relationship is that it’s not just a friendship, it’s an intimacy between two people where sex isn’t involved. Although when I found out Derek was hired to play Cameron, I thought they would recast me since they could get anyone to act opposite him. It’s such an honor.
PW: Well, you two have a lot to live up to — Herc and Street were kinda the best best friends ever.
Kevin: It’s funny, I remember when they wanted to create drama between them. I was so afraid they’d break us up. But it was such a fun role — but now, whenever someone recognizes me, I think it’s kind of a disappointment for them. They’re always so bummed I’m not in the chair.
