Kevin's website is being updated. Check back for the new format.

Born in June 1990, Kevin Koppman-Gue is a nineteen year-old actor living in San Diego, California who has been acting professionally since he was 11 years old.

Before Kevin discovered acting he had been pursuing gymnastics, having started at a local gym at the age of one. He then moved on to join the Mission Valley Boys Gymnastic team where he ranked 46th, level 6 in the 2001 regional competition that included hundreds of boys from California, Nevada and Hawaii. Although Kevin loved performing through gymnastics he would find that it was not his first love.

Kevin stepped on the stage for the first time when he was 10 years old. He has been passionate about acting since his debut as Jo with the Metropolitan Educational Theatre's (MET2) production of Big River. While with MET2 Kevin was in numerous shows including The Wiz, as The Munchkin Mayor and a Flying Monkey, and The Sound of Music as Kurt. Kevin went on to play Tom Sawyer in Big River three times, twice with MET2 in two different cities and once with another youth group where he also played the part of Thenardier in the school version of Les Miserables. His first lead role came in early 2005 with a youth group where he played Seymour Krelbourn in Little Shop Of Horrors.

Kevin's introduction to the professional theatre began at the age of eleven at 6th at Penn Theatre in the production of Dr. Marianne McDonald's translation of Euripides' The Children Of Heracles. Since then Kevin has performed in two other Greek translations by Dr. McDonald, Madea, Queen of Cholchester and The Bacchae. He has continued to work within the San Diego theatre community with Sledgehammer Theatre, Fritz Theatre, Lambs Player's Theatre, Lynx Performance Theatre and continues to return to 6th at Penn Theatre.

Throughout Kevin's acting he has pursued his second passion, drumming. He was the percussionist for The Actor Alliance Festival production of excerpts of The Serpent for which they were awarded a best ensemble award by the festival. Kevin played a Ghana drum in a Night of Cultural Arts on the campus of Cuyamaca College. And most recently was the percussionist for War and Roses at 6th at Penn.

Kevin's first on camera break came from his friend and award winning singer Eve Selis when he was an extra in her Do You Know Me video. He gained additional experience appearing in an infomercial for BeCalm'd and the short film Andrews Alterations, which debuted at The San Diego Film Festival. His latest on camera endeavor is his Compound W commercial which was also produced as a print advertisement.

Kevin began high school in the fall of 2004 after appearing in the school's production of The Boyfriend that they performed earlier that summer. He has since been in numerous other high school productions including Grease and Noises Off for which he won Best Actor Awards. He was assistant Director for the Highland Players The Crucbile where he had his first lighting design opportunity. In October of 2007 Kevin had his directorial debut for his senior project with the opening of Birds of Paradise at Helix.

Kevin continues his acting and stays involved with the theatre community through his professional membership in Actors Alliance of San Diego and their All-City Auditions.
