Kevin Dillon (born August 19, 1965) is an American actor. Born in Mamaroneck, New York, he is the younger brother of actor Matt Dillon.
Dillon began acting in both television and films in the 1980s and first received wide attention for his role as Bunny in the 1986 film Platoon. In 1988, he portrayed Brian Flagg in a remake of the 1958 American science fiction film The Blob. The remake flopped, bringing in only $8.2 million against its budget of $9 million. Other notable film roles from that period included War Party (1988) and The Doors (1991).
Much of Dillon's recent work has been in television, including the CBS series That's Life. Dillon is currently on the HBO hit comedy series Entourage playing Johnny "Drama" Chase. He appeared in the 2006 film Poseidon, a remake of the The Poseidon Adventure.
On April 22, 2006, Dillon married model-actress Jane Stuart in Las Vegas. Entourage cast members Jerry Ferrara was the best man at the wedding and Kevin Connolly walked Jane down the aisle. Adrian Grenier and Jeremy Piven were not in attendance as they were working. In May 2006, their daughter, Ava, was born by caesarean section in Los Angeles.
