Birth Name:: Kevin Brady Dillon

The younger brother of Matt Dillon. His debut role was in Oscar Stone's 1986 movie: "Platoon" where he played a young trigger happy American Solider by the name of Bunny, who goes on a violent spree. He also did some of the G.I. letters in HBO's documentary "Dear America: Letters from Vietnam" (1987). Even Though Bunny is his most memorable role, Kevin Dillon has done feature films and he even did some time on stage: "The Indian wants the Bronx."

While his brother Matt goes on good looks and smooth talking in his movies, Kevin Dillon plays more 'flinty' roles such as John Densmore in Oliver Stones' film "The Doors" (1991) where Kevin plays a drummer in the 1960s rock'n'roll band. Kevin also played a few teenage roles like in the movie "Heaven Help Us" (1985).

Dillon turned to TV-movies in 1986 where he stared in the CBS movie "When He's Not a Stranger" where he co-starred with Annabeth Gish in a movie about date rape. As the 90's dwindled away, so did Kevin Dillon's big screen roles, he found himself more on the small screen.

In 1996 he appeared in the HBO movie "Stag" with Andrew McCarthy and Mario Van Peebles. That same year he stared in the CBS miniseries "Gone In The Night" where he co-starred with Shannen Doherty.

After a while, Kevin Dillon turned to TV series and got himself a recurring role on the ABC police drama "NYPD Blue" before he got a role as the brother of a woman in her late thirties who decides to go back to college in the CBS series "That's Life" (2000). Then he had a small recurring role on the Fox hit show "24." He ended up landing a role as the witty, not-as-succesful brother of hot Hollywood actor Vince Chase in the HBO comedy "Entourage" (2004-).

Kevin has two brothers, Matt and Paul Dillon. Kevin attended Mamaroneck High School in Mamroneck, New York. The younger brother of Matt Dillon. His debut role was in Oscar Stone's 1986 movie: "Platoon" where he played a young trigger happy American Solider by the name of Bunny, who goes on a violent spree.

HBO mooching off more Entourage
HBO has seen its once unbeatable lineup of original programming dwindle away (The Sopranos, Deadwood, The Wire, Six Feet Under), and has been unable to plug those holes with new fare that could stay afloat (John From Cincinnati, Rome, Lucky Louie).
But there's still one program that's going from the network's glory days--Entourage.

Kevin Dillon-- We want more! I can't get enough of Johnny, the best sidekick since Andy Richter. I love your timing and accent. LOVE it. ...Continue »
Wow, what a great character actor! I can't get enough of Entouage and I think "Johnny Drama" is a huge part of that. I quote his lines and mimic his "bro" all the time- I'm a girl! Can't wait to see him in some new roles as well.

He is finally getting the recogntion that he deserves after being in the shadows of his famous former teen idol brother Matt. He is very funny as well as a really good actor. Glad that things are going well in his personal life. As he has a new baby girl and a new wife. Can't wait to see him if he can break out of Entourage but not for a long time.

Kevin Dillon is a good actor, even though his been here and there since the late 80's his still my idol, I remember watching him as Bunny on Platoon with my jaw open, the acting was great, the movie was great, and who could forget "when his not a stanger" such a sad movie. Kevin Dillon has done some great things. But I think his best is Platoon and his latest hit, Entourage, Its so funny! I Love shows and movies like that, ones about hollywood and stuff. KEVIN DILLON deserves to be more recognized then he is. Not Matt Dillon's younger brother but A great actor.
