The passion for Kevin McKidd number remains the theater, but the actor who provides the face to Dr. Owen Hunt on Grey's Anatomy states that, nowadays, "Television is the best stage" for those dedicated to his profession.  The Scottish actor (born in Elgin in 1973) interprets this doctor with red hair and very introverted character and unconventional in the sixth season of the series issued in Spain by Fox and a few weeks also Cuatro. The new plots of the plot concerning the merger of the Seattle Grace and Mercy West.

Thanks to these tensions between the two teams and the usual personality conflicts between players according to the Scottish actor the series has returned to its former splendor "Unlike other series like this, the characters of Grey's Anatomy are very well written by writers and are the most important medical event of the week, "says the actor joined the cast last season playing a veteran trauma surgeon from the war in Iraq. He loves the character of Owen Hunt "because it is direct, honest and not at all ambitious, plus the challenge of playing a character from the troubled past that will use the therapy while continuing his conflictual relationship with Cristina Yang (Sandra Oh).

Since he put aside his studies in Engineering in Edinburgh to concentrate on acting, McKidd has participated in numerous theater productions, television series and films. Feature films as Trainspotting, in which he played Tommy, Hannibal Lecter - The origins of evil and Made of Honor (which provides next to the star of Grey's Anatomy  Patrick Dempsey  ) alongside a career of fifteen years, but with television that McKidd is is established as a star. "The television allows you to spend more time on a character and build better", so to judge his work including the small screen is the role of the Legionnaire Lucius Vorenus in Rome.

For three years he lived in the States with his wife and two children, at the moment is on the set with Pierce Brosnan and Uma Thurman, and coming out in U.S. Bunraku, where she shared the scene with Demi Moore, Josh Hartnett and Woody Harrelson, Catwalk and thrillers.

A career than the inverse of great actors, especially actresses who were forced to seek refuge in an exclusive TV deals in the absence of film: "Unfortunately in cinema you must be 21 years if you're a woman. . The actors, instead, get the best parts once they get older. "

You heard Kevin talk about being a "Jumpin ooter" on the Bonnie Hunt Show well here are a few pictures from when Kevin worked for the "Witchery Tours in Edinburgh". 

Way back in 1983/4 Kevin McKidd joined a company called Cadies and Witchery tour based In Edinburgh, which currently runs an evening ghostly walking tour of Edinburgh's streets.  His first role was as one of the Jumpin ooter's (which is a costumed character that pops up on the tour) but quickly got promoted to leading the tours in the role of Adam Lyle (Deceased). 

Adam Lyle was a highwayman who stole GBP126 from a merchant on the road to Striling.  He was soon caught, and hung on the 27th March 1811 in the Grassmarket Edinburgh. Of course since his untimely demise Adam Lyle has walked the streets of Edinburg hosting the Murder and Mystery tour for the Cadies and Witchery tour company.

Kevin proclaimed that his regular nightly tours had prepard him well for a long stage run...(quoted while acting in The Silver Darlings)

In The Cut-Throat World Of Fashion, Beauty Is The Beast …

Someone is killing the beautiful people.
Four supermodels have been slaughtered and mutilated in the last few weeks.
Meanwhile, in the wild world of Manhattan’s fashion jungle, a new face is getting everyone’s attention...
BASIA, a young beauty with a mysterious past, has caught the eye of both the establishment and the underground. JAKE, a hip young mix-DJ whose star is on the rise, is falling in love with her. DANNY, the hottest fashion photographer in New York, wants her too – for complicated reasons. DESIREE, boho-punk documentarian, feels Basia is a vital element of her new verite movie. And HAMISH, an all-but-burnt-out homicide Cop, has some questions for her...
While the killings continue, while the city lives in fear, Basia is drawn into the whirlwind of neo-stardom and begins to lose sight of who she really is.
All along, in teasing, taunting flashes, Basia’s repressed memories have been surfacing – tortured, confused memories of orphanhood and abuse.. A pattern of abuse that has both buried her memories and awoken an ancient genetic pattern, dormant for generations. Basia’s bloodline is very old...
Now, trapped in his apartment studio, Basia discovers to her horror that Danny is the serial killer. And she is to be his next victim...
Yet, when Desiree breaks into the studio moments later, it is Danny who is dead. Ripped to pieces as if by some rampaging beast. And Basia is nowhere to be seen...
And finally the secret self within Basia is free – a human/animal hybrid of feline grace, awesome power, terrifying beauty, and a primal urge to kill. Rampaging through New York, killing innocents and evading the police, she ends up in the sewers, surrounded and protected by the giant cats that have escaped the circus to join their new Empress.

Somewhere within the Beast, Beauty is screaming...
Only Jake can help her now. Only love can pull the trigger...

take care Leanne
