From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kevin Harrington (born 4 September 1959 in Melbourne, Australia) is an Australian actor who is perhaps best known for his role as David Bishop on the Australian soap opera Neighbours. He first appeared as best man at father Harold's wedding to Madge in 1988, before becoming a regular in 2003. He was originally chosen partly for his facial resemblance to actor Ian Smith. His character was killed off in 2005 in a plane crash.
He has appeared in several other television series, including Blue Heelers, and SeaChange. He also was a contributing writer for the program All Together Now.
He also appeared in the movies The Dish, Australian Rules, and The Honourable Wally Norman. For the latter, he received a Best Actor nomination at the 2004 Australian Film Institute Awards. He is married and has two daughters, one of whom, Megan, once had a recurring role in Neighbours playing Boyd Hoyland's first girlfriend Heather.
Before getting into televison, he worked in theatre and did stand-up comedy. He also provides voice-overs for radio and television advertisements. In particular, Harrington provided a voice-over for a Victorian Government sponsored television advertisement promoting Vocation Education & Training (VE & T) and Technical and Further Education (TAFE) courses in October 2006.
