Bio
An over twenty year veteran of stage and screen, Kevin Weisman first became internationally known for his work as “Marshall
Flinkman” on the JJ Abrams/Jennifer Garner series, ‘Alias’, which ran for five critically acclaimed seasons on ABC. TV Guide named Kevin one of television’s “Top Ten Scene Stealers”, and he appeared on Entertainment Weekly’s “Must List” in 2006. He recently completed filming the third season of Marvel’s 'Runaways’, based on the comic written by Brian K. Vaughn for HULU. Seasons one and two are available to stream on Hulu. Season Three airs Dec. 13th, 2019. TV Guide sited Kevin’s work (scientist Dale Yorkes) as one of Television’s favorite performances of 2017. Other recent memorable turns include agoraphobic genius, “Ned Berring” in the first season of the David Kelly Amazon drama, “Goliath”, (opposite academy award winners, Billy Bob Thornton and William Hurt), as well as the brash ladies-man, “Kives” on Stephen Merchant’s two time Emmy nominated HBO comedy series, 'Hello Ladies’.

Kevin also recurs as “Dr. Jeffrey Maynard” on NBC’s 'The Blacklist’, “Ray Spiewack” on 'Scorpion’ (CBS), and had a memorable turn as “Stevie” in the critically acclaimed series, 'Better call Saul’ on AMC, and in a fan-fave cameo in Kevin Smith’s “Clerks 2″.

‘Kevin Weisman is terrific as an oddball witness…’ - Maureen Ryan, Variety
In 2015, Kevin joined the cast for the second (and more recently, third) seasons of Scorpion as the recurring Lebowski-esque pontificator, Ray Speiwack. “As Ray, Walter’s new buddy from community service, Kevin is going to bring a completely different viewpoint to Walter’s life – he’s not a genius – in fact he probably has below average intelligence. He’s odd and a bit ‘off’ but for some reason, Walter learns to like the guy and we get to see Walter O’Brien make a non-genius friend outside of Scorpion. But Ray’s unique approach to life is something Walter and the gang have to adjust to, and that won’t always be that easy to do.” - Show creator Nick Santora, Deadline Hollywood.
Kevin can also be seen as recurring M.E. Dr. Jeffrey Maynard on the NBC drama, THE BLACKLIST, as well as the 2016 feature film, THE TRUST, starring Nicholas Cage and Elijah Wood. Other recent work includes a memorable turn as ‘Stevie’ in episode 4 (’Hero’) of Vince Gilligan’s BETTER CALL SAUL, on AMC, starring Bob Odenkirk.
On the stage, Kevin appeared on the LA stage as the title character, Francios Villon, in Murray Mednick’s world premiere play, VILLON, which opened February 15th, 2014 at the Odyssey Theater in west Los Angeles. Read about it online on BROADWAY WORLD.
[Villon is] portrayed with gleeful lack of repentance by charismatic Kevin Weisman” — Los Angeles Times.
“Kevin Weisman, known for his TV roles on “Alias” and “Hello Ladies,” plays the lovable ne’er-do-well Villon with a brash, commanding assurance” —Danny Margulies, Arts in L.A.
“Masterful and Intriguing….Kevin Weisman, as Villon, is full spectrum spectacular…” LA Weekly
Kevin has worked extensively in the theater, including recent work at the La Mirada Theater for Performing Arts, where he appeared as 'Uncle Louie’ in Neil Simon’s pulitzer prize winning “Lost in Yonkers”, and as 'Gabe’ in Donald Margulies’ pulitzer prize winning play, “Dinner with Friends”
“Weisman shows Gabe’s touching naiveté, his love of the stability and order of marriage, and his agonized confusion over having to take sides” -O.C. Register
In the fall of 2012, Kevin immersed himself in the the principal role of frustrated writer, Arthur Kellog in Jaime Pachino’s West Coast Premiere of “The Return to Morality” at the Production Company at the Lex Theater in Hollywood
“Weisman’s five seasons opposite Jennifer Garner on TV’s Alias makes his casting as Arthur a particular coup for The Production Company, but as his starring roles in La Mirada Theatre’s Lost In Yonkers and Dinner With Friends have made abundantly clear, the UCLA grad is as dynamic and charismatic on stage as he is on the small screen, qualities which make him an ideal choice to bring playwright Pachino’s surprised and dismayed Conservative Hero to amusingly conflicted life.” – LA Drama Critics.
A founding member of the award-winning and critically acclaimed Buffalo Nights Theatre Company, Kevin has served as an actor and producer on numerous productions. He starred as Griffith J. Griffith in the award- winning “Crazy Drunk” at the John Anson Ford Theatre. He also appeared in the title role in Arthur Schnitzler’s “Anatol,” Jean Giraudoux’s “Apollo of Bellac,” which received a Garland for Production of the Year and seven LA Weekly award nominations, Archibald McCleish’s “J.B,” “Suburban Motel,” Arthur Miller’s “Incident at Vichy,” Oscar Wilde’s “Salome” and the West Coast premiere of Jonathon Marc Sherman’s “Sophistry.” Additional theatre credits include “Tis Pity She’s a Whore,” “The Greeks,” which received the LA Weekly 1999 Production of the Year Award at the Odyssey Theater, and “The Goldoni Trilogy” at the Mark Taper Forum at the music center, downtown LA.
