Kevin Alexander Clark (born December 3, 1988) is an American musician and actor, from Highland Park, Illinois.

[edit] School of Rock

Clark was introduced to acting at the age of thirteen, playing drummer Freddy Jones, in Paramount Pictures' School of Rock with Jack Black, in which the film opened at number one nationwide October 3, 2003. At the time, he was already an experienced drummer. He says he saw an ad that was looking for 9-11 year old drummers, and he didn't want to audition because he was 13, but his mother convinced him. After a few more trips for the auditions, including cities like Chicago and New York, he landed the role of Freddy Jones. Clark was in a band — called Blind — before School of Rock, but while he was away filming the movie they replaced him with another drummer. His family usually accompanied him on the set of "School of Rock".

With the factors that come with being in a movie, he has attended Toronto and L.A. Premieres of the film, as well as the 2004 MTV Movie Awards. With his castmates and Jack Black, he also appeared on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno, in September 26, 2003 as a musical guest.

For questions on Clark's acting career, he has explicitly said that his next big project is to finish high school.
