Kevin Michael Moran has been an actor for several decades both in New York City, his hometown, as well as Los Angeles. He is a graduate of Queens College where he studied English Literature, Drama and attained a high school teaching credential which he would use later in life in the Los Angeles Unified School District.
After college Kevin performed in summer stock and national tours. He studied at the Herbert Berghof Acting Studio with Sandy Dennis and observed Uta Hagen’s mastery. He performed at Joe Pap’s Public Theatre, and several other off-broadway houses. In Los Angeles Kevin has worked at the Westchester Playhouse, Theatre 40, the Actors’ Co-op, the Met theatre, the Mc Cadden and the Sierra Madre Playhouse. His most cherished role is that of George in Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf performed at the Ophelia Jump theatre in Upland. Among the many plays and musicals Kevin has done, several stand out: A Little Night Music, The Language Archive, Truman Capotes’ A Christmas Memory, Spinning into Butter, Carnival, Biloxi Blues, Jesus Christ Superstar, Pippin, and The Man who Came to Dinner.

Now retired from education, Kevin devotes most of his time to acting, spending time with his spouse and friends, and his dogs who keep him laughing and young at heart.
