Biography & career

About Kevin Durand

Kevin Durand’s credits move across television antagonists, genre ensembles and large-scale film. He plays Martin Keamy in Lost, Vasiliy Fet in The Strain, Fred Dukes in X-Men Origins: Wolverine and Gabriel in Legion. In Vikings, Harbard uses a quieter and more enigmatic place in the story than many of those roles.

The Strain is the clearest follow-up for a substantial television part. Lost provides a shorter character storyline, while Legion offers a film-length genre contrast. Comparing those appearances with Harbard makes it easier to notice how the same physical presence can serve very different kinds of character.
