"Henry says don't let the sauce stick." "I'm stirring it!!" Two lines of dialogue that will forever be associated with Kevin Corrigan's most famous film. Imagine it, four films into your career and you get a memorable role in one of the all time greats. And let's not forget his first film was with not only Donald Sutherland but also Adam Horovitz from Beastie Boys. That's a hell of a way to start your onscreen story. With a career specialising in oddball sociopaths he's never quite become leading man material but he's an actor who always adds a bit of fun to whatever film he appears in. Always. He even elevates the bad stuff to watchable. That's a sign of someone special.
He's been an altar boy in the 2nd scariest film set in Washington DC. Carried a coffin opposite Ross Geller. Been gunned down in films written by Tarantino and killed by the Bad Boys on Miami Beach. He's popped up in the best of 90's indie cinema, being directed by Tamara Jenkins, Steve Buscemi, Nicole Holofcener and *gulp* Vincent Gallo. Auteurs have made him their muse and months later he's been in DTV fluff and still been brilliant. He's worked with both Scott Brothers and cameo'd in the best and most underrated TV show of this century. Kevin has been investigated by the Special victims Unit and protected by Ray Donovan. He's slept rough in Fort Washington and rocked out to Kiss in Detroit. He's done it all across 163 films and TV shows for the last 33 years. Except ride a horse. Check out his career here.
Greatest Hits
Goodfellas - Michael Hill. Brother of Henry. Tasked with caring for tomato sauce on the worst day of his brother's life.
Grounded For Life - Eddie Finnerty. The sleazy, dangerous uncle that started the show as a small part but grew into the best thing about it.
Superbad - Mark. The party guy who can take an uppercut with style. His party is when our heroes realise just how far out of their comfort zone they are.
The Departed - Cousin Sean. The fuck up. A wannabe criminal born to fail.
Pineapple Express - Budlofsky. The hitman who just wants to go home to eat. Hilariously vicious. The definition of hangry.
Big Fan - Sal. The second biggest New York Giants fan. A fun turn in a darkly funny comedy.
