Kevin McKidd

Plays Dr Owen Hunt

An established star of film, television and theatre, Scottish actor Kevin McKidd has made a name for himself playing such varied roles as a doomed drug addict in Trainspotting, a brooding Caesar-era soldier in HBO's Rome and a time-traveling journalist in NBC drama Journeyman. He also co-starred alongside his Grey's Anatomy castmate, Patrick Dempsey, and Michelle Monaghan in the 2008 romantic comedy, Made of Honor.

McKidd's other film credits include Hannibal Rising, Kingdom of Heaven, De-Lovely and Sixteen Years of Alcohol, for which he was nominated for Best Actor at the British Independent Film Awards.

Born and raised in Scotland, McKidd was a member of the Moray Youth Theatre. He became involved in the Bedlam Theatre Company while he was a student at the University of Edinburgh, and it was there that he decided to pursue acting full-time, landing his first leading role in the Wild Cat Theatre Company-produced stage play, The Silver Darlings, for which he won the Gulliver Award.
