Kevin Pollak

Kevin Pollak started as stand-up comedian in San Francisco at age Twenty. Years later, Comedy Central would name him to their Top 100 Comedians of All Time list. In LA, 200 acting auditions in LA later, Pollak’s role in Ron Howard’s Willow brought him directly to the couch of Johnny Carson’s Tonight Show, a childhood dream.

In 1992, Pollak’s role in Rob Reiner’s A Few Good Men, proved his ability to stand out on the big screen among cinematic icons. The unplanned transformation of Kevin becoming a dramatic actor was further established two years later, when he co-starred in The Usual Suspects and Martin Scorsese’s Casino in the same year. Kevin has now co-starred in over 90 films, with four more due out in 2025.

New fortunes found Pollak on the small screen in 2017… After being offered the part of Moishe Maisel in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Amazon Prime Studios’ worldwide hit won 20 Emmy Awards in its first 3 seasons, including Best Comedy. The entire cast won Screen Actors Guild Awards two years in a row for Best Ensemble in a Comedy Series.

Pollak’s first outing as a film director, the comedy doc, Misery Loves Comedy, premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, and hit #1 on iTunes after two days.

Kevin then directed the indie comedy, The Late Bloomer, starring J.K. Simmons, Jane Lynch, Maria Bello, Brittany Snow and Kumail Nanjiani.

In fact, Pollak was in pre-production on his next film to direct when he was asked to be a series regular for season 3 and 4 of Tulsa King. “I’ve been an admirer of Sly’s his entire career and could not be more excited to be a part of this stellar cast and extraordinary production.”
