Biography

Heyborne graduated from Alta High School in 1995 where he was student body president. He served a full time mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) in the Dominican Republic. He later graduated from the University of Utah with a degree in Economics.

Kirby is both an actor and a musician. He has released several CDs on which he sings and plays the guitar. However, Heyborne first became widely popular in Mormon culture after starring in the film The R.M. (2003).

Kirby generated some controversy in the Mormon world in 2008 after deciding to appear in a Miller Lite beer commercial. Kirby stated that the opportunity was an answer to prayer, and a way to feed his family. He was later denied the chance to play at BYU, where he had often played in the past, due to his involvement with the commercial.

He and his wife Trisha have three children.
