The original appreciation site dedicated to "the bizarre
pleasure that is Kevin Corrigan"*
A greeting from Matthew Harrison
and Kevin!
Last Updated 5/7/2000
Kevin Corrigan.
The general public's response to that name
would probably be something along the lines
of "Who"? Serious
moviegoers, however, will know him as the
down-on-his-luck loser Redmond in Kicked
in the Head, the spacey assistant
cameraman in Living in Oblivion, the
Manson-obsessed pot dealer in Slums of
Beverly Hills, or, most likely, the video
store clerk who stole the film Walking and
Talking.
Now if you're unenthusiastically thinking, Oh. Just some boring guy in a bunch of
movies I've never heard of, and ready to
move elsewhere on the Net...wait just a
minute. Besides being far from boring,
Kevin is not just any indie flavor of the
month;
he has also appeared in mainstream action
flicks (Kiss of Death), meaningful
dramas (The Saint of Fort Washington),
family
films (Men Don't Leave) and even the
critics' favorite Goodfellas. Chances
are, you have seen him. (And if you haven't,
you'll
want to. There's no one who can play so many
losers and make us love them like Kevin.
Plus, he's Sheila Jaffe and Georgianne
Walken's favorite person to cast in
movies!) So stick around, visit some (or all)
of the links, and learn more about this
talented and
oddly appealing young actor.Maybe you
can even sign the guestbook. And don't forget
to email me. Thanks!
Here's a shorter guestbook for those too busy
or lazy to answer all the questions in the
other one. Why do I have two? Silly
me. A prankster sent out an email saying
GuestWorld was going to start charging for
their services and I fell for it.=)

Stay tuned for another Kevin site, created by EveNaive!
Brown's Requiem is on video!! When did this happen? Who knows, as I encountered NO reviews or 'coming soon' announcements. But it's definitely on video! I rented and watched it; Kevin has about four scenes as Michael Rooker's alcoholic cousin Walter. The film also stars Selma Blair and the talented Brad Dourif (in an entertaining cameo.) It's based on a novel by James Ellroy, who wrote L.A. Confidential. Check it out!!
Okay, Kevin has a plethora of films coming out. Here's what I know about each of them:
****American Saint, the latest in a string of films featuring 'American' in their title, co-stars Woody Harrelson as himself, but I know virtually nothing else about it ...****
****Chain of Fools, a crime comedy that filmed in Vancouver last year (no fair, Kevin was in my sort-of area!), will be released later this year and features quite an eclectic cast. Said cast includes: Steve Zahn, Salma Hayek, Lara Flynn Boyle, Elijah Wood, Claudia Schiffer, Jeff Goldblum, Tom Wilkinson, David Hyde Pierce, and Kevin's old pal Michael Rapaport. Kevin himself plays somebody named Paulie; he's billed fairly high, and the foursome of Kevin, Goldblum, Pierce, and Rapaport is intriguing. So I'm looking forward to this one!****
****Broke Even has officially wrapped, and will be debuting at some upcoming film festivals. The film stars Kevin (of course), Michael Lowry, and Amadeus' Elizabeth Berridge. The already acclaimed script was penned by the same man who wrote
Detroit Rock City (see below), and
direction will be from newcomer David
Feldman. I've heard good things about Broke Even, and can't wait to see it! Click here for a brand-new, detailed website about the movie!****
****See Jane Run, described as a sort
of druggy, modernized Alice in
Wonderland ... will co-star Richmond
Arquette, Clea DuVall, and Jennifer Apsen,
and it is a comedy, slated for a 2000
release. It's young cast leads one to assume
the film will appeal to young
people...****
****Abbie! has changed its title to
the unusual Steal this Movie. Don't
ask me why. Anyway, the film chronicles the
life of '60s icon Abbie Hoffman (Vincent
D'Onofrio) and Kevin will portray Jerry
Rubin, his first "real person" role. That
should be interesting! Steal this
Movie was supposed to come out in
1999, but has been changed to (supposedly) an August release date. We'll see if that's true!****
**** And Roberta was yet another with
an alleged 1999 release date. The film was an
official entry in the 1999 Sundance Film
Festival. Kevin's the star of this
intriguing-sounding story about a successful
businessman who takes in a prostitute (the
title character)and tries to help her
improve her life, ultimately ruining his
own life in the end. I already like
Roberta because it has Brian Tarantina
who was in a scene with Kevin in The Saint
of Fort Washington, and was directed by a
SUNY Purchase alum, Eric Mandelbaum. Also,
Kevin's the star!=)****
****Coming soon is... Coming Soon!
Really, that's the title of yet another of
Kevin's new movies. It's a romantic (sex)
comedy
and co-stars Spalding Gray, Gaby Hoffman and
Mia Farrow. Kevin plays the leader of some
band. Sounds entertaining! (His role, at
least.) Look for Coming Soon in 2000.****
I believe that is all the theatrical Kevin
Corrigan movies we have to look forward to
(for now), but look for Lulu on the
Bridge on the shelf at your local video
store. After playing in Europe and receiving
disappointing reviews at Cannes, the Paul
Auster (Smoke, Blue in the
Face) film (which features Harvey Keitel,
Mira Sorvino, and an all-star supporting
cast), oddly, went straight to tape. Oh,
well... Kevin only has about two lines in it
anyway.=)
Kevin with Natasha Lyonne in
Slums of Beverly Hills.
Did you like Kevin and Natasha in
Slums? If so, hopefully you didn't
miss Detroit Rock City, the movie
about KISS, which starred
KISS as themselves, Edward Furlong and
Natasha, and was directed by Adam Rifkin.
(The Chase, Never on Tuesday.)
Kevin helped get it in
the right hands and even
has a cameo! Detroit Rock City played
in theaters for about a week this past
August, but fear not, it recently became available on video and you should find it (along with Lulu on the Bridge) on your local video shelves. Kevin has the avant-garde character name of "Beefy Jerk."

*Quote from Ken Fox, TV
Guide
Hey, this thing's pretty cool,
try it! And even cooler is Epinions, a staggeringly addicting site where you can write reviews to your heart's content and earn money for them! (I have personally cashed four good-sized checks.) Try both places, and not to be tacky or anything, but tell them "nellswell" sent you. I'm "nellswell".=)
