Kevin Volchok is a fictional character on the FOX television series The O.C., played by Cam Gigandet.
[edit] Season 3
Volchok is Johnny Harper’s top rival for a surfing sponsorship though they used to be close friends. Later on, Johnny catches his girlfriend, Casey, cheating on him with Volchok who justifies it with, “You got the sponsorship, and I got your girlfriend. Fair is fair.” Later on, Johnny decides to confront Volchok at the beach, but before a fight can ensue, Ryan Atwood tries to intervene and ends up punching Volchok in the face.
That punch lands Ryan another enemy and rival for the rest of the season. Volchok quickly and persistently tries to pursue a rematch with Ryan including confronting at the diner, keying “Lil’ Bitch” into the Cohen's car, taking money from Marissa Cooper and finally kidnapping her for ransom with a payoff of a fight with Ryan. Of course Ryan ends up at the pier seemingly ready to fight him, but decides to break a glass bottle and tell Volchok that he better be prepared to die or kill him.
We don’t see much of him again till after Johnny’s death. He took Johnny’s death hard and acted differently after his death. Marissa empathizing with this change and the need for closure begins a strange friendship with him. In the meantime, while Ryan pursues a relationship with Sadie Campbell, Johnny’s cousin, it becomes apparent that Volchok previously had a relationship with Sadie that only deepens their rivalry. Eventually he and Marissa develop a casual romantic relationship first fueled by Marissa’s growing distance from her friends and Volchok’s want to anger Ryan.
The relationship careens into something serious, even catching a moment of sensitivity from him when he fell asleep watching The Sound of Music to get know her better. Then Marissa catches Volchok cheating on her at prom ending the relationship. He also stole all the post-prom party money from Taylor to the tune of a few thousand dollars which of Ryan must retrieve in his old-Atwood ways. Beating him nearly to death, Ryan takes him to a nearby hospital where Volchok says he was jumped and didn’t know who did it. He decides to blackmail Ryan initially to participate in a robbery, then to help him escape Newport, and finally to get Marissa to talk to him again when he realizes that she was the best thing to ever happen to him.
Marissa refuses to become reinvolved with him and blackmailing Ryan doesn't help encourage her to talk to him let alone get back together with him. Upon her last refusal to speak with him, Volchok decides to follow them. As Ryan drives her to the airport, a drunken Volchok decides to convince them to pull over by ramming his car into theirs. Ryan does not pull over even thogh he could've done and eventually, Volchok pushes them over the road and their car rolls in a ditch. Marissa then dies of her injuries in Ryan's arms.
[edit] Season 4
Volchok tries to hide in Mexico, where Ryan is going after him, with help from Julie, who hired a private investigator to find Volchok. When Ryan (and Seth, who insists on coming along) go to Mexico, Ryan is unable to find Volchock. Seth manages to locate him through a contact, and attempts to coerce him into turning himself in, as Sandy could help him get a deal. Volchok refuses and flees. Ryan extracts his location from Seth and attempts to track him down, only to find that Seth gave him a false address and contacted Sandy and Kirsten to bring them both home.
Eventually, Volchok contacts Sandy and meets with him at his office. Sandy emphasizes the nature of their relationship as strictly business, and says that he can get Volchok a good deal and he could be in prison for less time. Ryan goes to see Sandy at the office, and a woman at the door says that he just missed him, and that he was with a client. Ryan looks around and sees Sandy drive by with Volchok in his car. Ryan is infuriated.
He confronts Sandy about it, and Sandy isn't talking. Eventually, Sandy "gives in" and brings Ryan to the hotel where Volchok is staying. He tells Ryan to go in there, and that he trusts him. Ryan rushes in, and Volchok is waiting. Ryan punches him twice and breaks a bottle, ready to kill him, but pauses. Volchok tells Ryan to kill him, that he doesn't care anymore and that he just wants it to be over. Ryan opts not to, realizing that Volchok genuinely cared about Marissa and is remorseful for his actions. He opts to force him to live with his mistake as punishment.
It is presumed that Volchok is currently in jail and serving time for his actions.
