Kevin Kilner (born May 3, 1958) is an American television and film actor.

Life and career

Kilner was born in Baltimore, Maryland, the son of Dorothea, a kindergarten teacher, and Edward Kilner, who worked in advertising sales and insurance. He went to Dulaney High School in Baltimore County. He made his first television appearance on an episode of The Cosby Show in 1989. He is perhaps best known for playing Nick in Smart House as well as the protagonist in the first season of Earth: Final Conflict and Officer Dean in The Stoned Age.

He appeared on Broadway in 1994 in a production of Tennessee Williams's The Glass Menagerie costarting Calista Flockhart and Julie Harris. In the New York Times, critic David Richards called Kilner "the real discovery of this production," adding that he "is tall and strapping, and looks like the glossy male models in 1940's magazines."

In 1995-96, Kilner starred in Almost Perfect as the romantic interest of Nancy Travis, who played a screenwriter, but Kilner was written out of the show in the second-season premiere. In 2009, he appeared on two episodes of the Joss Whedon show Dollhouse.

Kilner is an alumnus of Dulaney High School and the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. While attending Johns Hopkins he was a member of the National Champion lacrosse team.

From June 30 to July 16, 2006, he appeared on stage in the Alley Theatre production of Wait Until Dark.
