Cause of Death: Injury due to a fall on the set
One of New Zealand's most popular and accomplished actors, Smith has amassed an impressive list of credits in film, theater and television.
He has enjoyed starring roles in such hit series as TV New Zealand's Gloss, Marlin Bay and Shortland Street and has performed in dozens of stage productions ranging from Othello to A Streetcar Named Desire, Cabaret, Glengarry Glen Ross and Into the Woods....
Kevin was a big rugby fan, and supported Canterbury. But his favorite team was the All Blacks, and he was superstitious about them, having rituals that he would perform to insure victory, and would never drink in a pub again if his team lost while he was in it!
(edit)
Kevin was wearing a fake beard in the Xena episode "The Reckoning", and he couldn't move his face much for fear that it would fall off.
(edit)
Kevin was asked about kissing Lucy while her husband was standing there watching, and he said that it was much worse when her baby watching! Kissing her in front of Rob wasn't too bad because Rob was the one who produced and sometimes even wrote and/or directed the show.
(edit)
Kevin was injured while filming an episode of Hercules. He had to do a spinning kick, and the dagger medallion he wore whipped around and stabbed him in the corner of his eye in the tear duct. After that his medallions were made of soft plastic or rubber for fight scenes.
(edit)
Kevin was interested in drama in high school, and subsequently in 1979 he was in a drama club.

(Kevin on the first moment he got on stage to perform)
Kevin:When I was on that stage, it was like a light went on. I knew immediately acting was the thing I wanted to do with the rest of my life. (edit) Kevin: Liking a bad guy is permission to live a wicked life vicariously. (edit) (Kevin on playing the bad guy, Ares, on Hercules and Xena)
Kevin: All bad characters are popular because they can access things that regular people don't get a chance to, that good characters can't. (edit)
