By the time he was 10 years old, Kerry could imitate all kinds of characters, from "The Grinch" to "Austin Powers." Kerry soon became interested in acting and, after a few years of working as an actor in Canada, he came to Los Angeles in search of fame and fortune. It was there that he got his big break playing the role of Eli in Darcy’s Wild Life. Kerry is an expert skateboarder and snowboarder, and has recently started surfing. He also enjoys classic rock and hockey. An avid reader, Kerry is a big fan of The Lord of the Rings trilogy.
