Kevyn Major Howard

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kevyn Major Howard is a Canadian actor best known for his role is Stanley Kubrick's "Full Metal Jacket".

After acting in high school Howard moved to Los Angeles and the Hollywood limelight in the late 70's.

He became frustrated with LA's headshot industry and its inability to create an actor's artistic expression through their head shot. He decided to take his own picture. His headshot concept and composition was an instant hit, and he reinvented the Hollywood industry standard for today's headshot.

Kevyn's new headshot was delivered to Paramount Studios shortly thereafter, he was called in and booked for his first major film roll, The Serial (with Martin Mull, Tuesday Weld, Sally Kellerman, Pamela Bellwood and Peter Bonerz).

This was followed by the film Scared Straight Another Story. This film is still shown in high schools across the country to enable young people to realize the benefit in turning from a life of crime and instead invest in themselves for a positive future.

His career continued, giving him the opportunity to work with many A list artists.

In the Discovery Channel show The Human Face Kevyn is touted as the "King of the Hollywood Headshot".

Kevyn Major Howard Studios is also known as the first headshot photography studio to create a series of television commercials specifically targeting headshot photography for actors and business professionals.
