Acevedo was the only Latino actor that appeared in "The Thin Red Line". (edit) In high school, Acevedo participated in his high school's drama club. (edit) When he was younger, he would perform before his family in improvised shows. (edit) Kirk Acevedo is married to fellow actress Kiersten Warren. (edit) He is a founder of a theater company called The Rorschach Group. (edit)

Acevedo: (his thoughts on theater acting) I would say doing theater by far. I get asked all of the time, "What's harder TV, film or theater?" TV's hard for the hours. Film is hard because you just wait around all day. With film if one take didn't come out the way you wanted it to you've got 50 other takes from different angles. In theater you have one chance every night to get it right. (edit) Acevedo: (On his role in "The Thin Red Line") I play a scout who's out to get a regiment of men to the battlefield, and he's a bit scarred by the war. It's a totally different movie. (edit) Acevedo: (On his character in "Oz") People are seeing you as a character and not a person doing a character. That's the great thing about being an actor. (edit) Kirk Acevedo: (on his 'Oz' and audience reaction to stereotypes) We're talking about a specific group of people who have committed crimes -- whether they be white, black or Hispanic. We're not singling any groups out. In the second season, for instance, Luis Guzman tells my character he's 'too white' to be part of the gang. For me personally, it's happened throughout a large part of my childhood where I went to school, in East Harlem, and everyone thought I was white when I'm Hispanic. We incorporated that into the show. But I don't really think it perpetuates stereotypes. I've never had an experience where someone accused something about the show that they thought was racism. (edit) Kirk Acevedo: (on his 'Oz' character Migel Alvarez ) I have to admit, it was fun for the first two or three seasons. Then it got really difficult trying to go to that same place over and over just because the first three seasons he was put into situations that were beyond his control. As an actor, I would say those are the scenes I love to do the most because they're more challenging and I'm able to show the sympathetic side. (edit)
