Page Kennedy (born November 23, 1976) is an American television and film actor and rap musician, who most recently starred in the second season of the Spike sports comedy series, Blue Mountain State. Kennedy has also starred in film, including roles in S.W.A.T. and See Dick Run.[1]
Personal life
Kennedy was born in Detroit, Michigan but grew up in Los Angeles with his mother until he was six years of age. He then moved back to Detroit to reunite with his father, who eventually died close to ten years later.[2]
Kennedy attended Western Michigan University (WMU), before transferring to the University of Delaware (UD), and majored in theatre and acting. The actor's father was a doctor and encouraged his son to study medicine, but Kennedy gained a passion for acting after being introduced to William Shakespeare at WMU. Kennedy subsequently chose to attend UD from a list of 17 high-ranking graduate theater programs after performing with high distinction at Western Michigan.[1]
Career
Kennedy soon moved to Los Angeles and began to guest star on several shows including Six Feet Under, Blind Justice, Barbershop, Love, Inc., NYPD Blue, The Shield, and CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.
In 2005, Kennedy won a recurring role on the popular ABC primetime soap, Desperate Housewives where he played Caleb Applewhite, a fugitive who was being held captive in his mother's (Alfre Woodard) basement. However shortly after in November 2005, Kennedy was fired from Desperate Housewives; Kennedy himself claimed that Touchstone Television, the producers of the show, wanted to take a new direction with the character and bought out his contract. He was replaced by NaShawn Kearse.
Kennedy joined the cast of Showtime's hit series Weeds during its second and third season. He played the drug-dealer and self-described "thug", U-Turn.
Kennedy most recently played Radon Randell an unidentified black male, a quarterback starting over the main character, Alex Moran, in the Spike television series Blue Mountain State. Because Alex Moran does not want to start, he must keep Radon happy during the whole 2nd of 3 seasons (the only season Radon was in). Radon's season ends in the championship game of his lone season when he aggravates a previous shoulder injury.
Kennedy played a gay inmate and gang leader in My Name is Earl and a married inmate and ex-con in Raising the Bar.
