Happy Birthday Kevin Durand 2026
 |
The Strain remains a popular horror franchise consisting of both books and a television series by Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan. It concerns a CDC team led by Dr Ephraim Goodweather who investigate what they initially think is a mysterious viral outbreak in NYC.
This turns out to be an ancient, parasitic vampirism, forcing them to fight a rising tide of monstrous creatures known by the initiated as the Strigoi. They are controlled by a powerful entity called The Master.
The plot follows a desperate battle for humanity's survival against this plague and includes both science fiction thriller elements along with the classic vampire lore I've followed over my lifetime.
One of my favorite characters in this masterpiece of horror was Vasily Fet. He is a main character and rat exterminator of Ukrainian descent who joins the war against the strigoi — that army of an ancient monsters trying to take over the world. Vasily Fet was portrayed by Keven Durand who is quite the prolific actor and has become one of my favorite thespians of all time.
Kevin Serge Durand was born January 14, 1974. He is a Canadian actor known for his work in numerous film and television roles.
He received a prestigous 2012 Best Supporting Actor Genie nomination for his portrayal of Lenny Jackson in Citizen Gangster. This award is widely considered equivalent to the US Oscar — which sadly has lost meaning over the tedium of award show hosts professing their bent political views overshadowing the awards themselves. Some of my favorite character portrayals of Mr Durand include Harbard in Vikings, Mike Newberry in CSI Miami, and of course Vasily Fet in The Strain.
Today is the birhday of Kevin Durand. Happy birthday to you !
