Kevin is a former Titans player who stepped away from the professional NRL scene and a tidy paycheck to pursue acting, music and performance. Often seen rollerblading around the Gold Coast in fantastic costume, Kevin had a chat to Gemma about growing up in a hypermasculine sporting environment, the rewards of free self-expression and the importance of educating children to be tolerant.
