| Kevin Zegers in House |
Ever wonder where young Canadian actor Kevin Zegers got the nickname The Total Package?
TV viewers found out when they tuned in to Kevin's guest appearance on Fox TV's House (episode "Occam's Razor," broadcast Nov 30, 2004) and were left with mouths gaping at the sight of the athletic young actor stripped down for an explicit love-making scene.
But for Kevin Zegers, 20, it was all in a day's work.
Fans have have long known that Kevin's well-toned muscular look has been quite prominent in the actor's work. Only a year ago, Kevin did a similar scene in his guest role on WB's hit series Smallville: in the episode "Magnetic" (broadcast Nov 13, 2003), Kevin gains superhuman magnetic powers after a medical scanner blows a fuse while scanning his stripped-down body - undoubtedly TV's most cleverly disguised tribute to the well-built actor.
In both Smallville and House as well as in numerous other TV shows and films, Kevin's directors and producers have recognized the young actor's handsome muscles as a major asset, as well as a source of excitement among fans worldwide.
Kevin Zegers - already an industry veteran with almost three dozen films to his credit - is very candid about the actor's advantage of having a great body. The film star has acknowledged in interviews that, rightly or wrongly, an actor's appearance is the first thing that viewers notice, and that attention to appearance is to be ignored at an actor's peril.
This young actor practices what he preaches, having been developing his body all his life. Years of playing sports, running, and lifting weights have given Kevin a body that leaves admiring fans breathless, and which has became an integral part of his acting persona. Kevin has played jocks in the Air Bud film series and M.V.P., destroyed dragons in Komodo, showed off his muscles in the pool in Titans, and fought bullies in The Incredible Mrs Ritchie. Without doubt, Kevin always gets his workout, even when he's not in a gym.
With muscles like these, you can bet that The Total Package will be seeing more film action in the future.
The following is a transcript of several messages posted on the Kevin Zegers Gallery regarding his appearance in House.

Message: Ok, so when Kevin filmed house, he was either 19 or 20, and the
things have obviously changed drastically since the episode of SMALLVILLE
and even INCREDIBLE MRS. RITCHIE. Kevin is definitely a muscular prodigy.
His arms, chest, and abs are like perfect. His arms are big, but not overly
huge, his chest is not like popping out like he has breasts but they are
there, and he obviously has either a six pack or an 8-pac...the showing
of his body in boxers was a help to.... DISCUSS EVERYONE!....

Message: well, we never get to see him shirtless in ritchie, so its hard
to tell...if ur going by the look of his chest, i think that was due to
an incredibly tight shirt.

Message: Hi, guys how are you? It's been a while.
I thought he looked cute. However, the thought of that girl riding the
Air Bud kid rugged is still pretty startling.
Other than that, Kevin looks cuter that ever
Just my two cents, lol. Oh God, it's so good to be back!
Take care,
Jenny

Message: Ah actually whats even more startling is some lady old enough
to be his mother making out with him and how old was he in four days?
Same with "it came from the sky" Now that he's considered an
adult its not as gross.

Message: Yep, it definitly was quite a bit of skin showing, but I'm not
complaining. I wouldn't say he has taken care of his body more than anyone
else, but he has definitly taken better care of it than I have with mine.
He has gotten more lean and slender, rather than buffed and bulky. He
always was kind of a skinny guy, but he did seem a bit more buffed, or
bulky, in the past. Lately, it has been the lean road. His chest didn't
seem to be as big as before, though. And the sex scene was like porn without
the nudity. That was pretty graphic for 9:00 tv, but, again, I am not
complaining. When watching that, I thought it was going to be more implied.
Hell was I wrong!!!!!!
I thought the sex scene was great enough, they go and show him naked later
on. Of course, it was all in a hospital setting, so it wasn't really that
great, if you know what I mean. Anyway, enough of the body commentary.
It's not like we haven't thought of these sorts of things before with
him. The Air Bud image is comming off.
So, overall, I thought it was a good show. Makes me want to see Transamerica
now!

Message: These pics are the first i've seen of the House show; sorry I
missed it. Kevin does seem to be losing alot of his muscle lately, I have
to agree. He was really stocky in "Komono" and "Fear of
the Dark," and kept the muscle for "Wrong Turn." He at
least kept the stocky look he has had going back to "Treasure Island."
Thats what bothered me a little about those pics, they didn't even look
like him at points; and did you say he was shown naked later?? I didn't
think Kevin did nudity. Are you sure this was Kevin or another actor that
looks a lot like him, does Kevin have a twin?
