Kevin Redmond Caliendo

Kevin Caliendo was born in Palos Heights, IL on April 7th, 1986 and raised in Oak Lawn. Born to successful Director of Nursing Kathy Caliendo and hard working factory worker Michael Caliendo Sr. Kevin was always showing his hidden talents by creating short films around the house with anything he found of use. Until the age of 19, Kevin never thought possible that acting could be in his future until the support of his family and friends came into play and Kevin starred in several of his friend, Marko's short films for DePaul University. Kevin enjoyed working on these school so much that he wanted to continue pursuing acting on a professional level. A few years after working on short films, Kevin learned an easy way to search work on the Internet and had the opportunity to work on 'The Dilemma'. Next on Kevin's agenda was to work on a project that would progress his "face-time" and while working in the local mall he received a call for a scene in an independent film which ended up landing him one of the lead roles! Kevin and the Director of their indie which was known as 'Don't Forget the Porch Light', connected so well that they registered for school together at The Illinois Center for Broadcasting where not only did they learn on screen acting but also behind the scenes and camera work. Kevin wanted to know all aspects of the industry and ICB helped him take his career further. After graduating from ICB, Kevin interned at NextMedia in Joliet because he was a constant listener of 98.3 WCCQ. While he was interning, Kevin was able to do what he loved which was work with the public as a promotions worker. After Kevin's internship was over he continued his search for work as an actor while holding on to his part-time jobs. Kevin had the opportunity to work on such shows as 'Underemployed' in which he had a featured role, 'Mob Doctor' and 'Chicago Fire'. Kevin also worked on 'Shameless' as a stand-in for most of the cast including 'Lip' and 'Jimmy'. Kevin ambitiously awaits his next project whether full length feature or small indie film Kevin just wants to do what he loves which is entertain.
