Kenneth spent summers at Kilcoo Camp in Minden. He attended first as a camper then camp instructor and then camp counsellor.

He attended a high school for the arts in Toronto that allowed him to try different forms of art, both performance and fine. Looking for a career that was practical but let him use his artistic side, Kenneth decided on the Landscape Architecture Program at the University of Guelph in Guelph Ontario. At U of G, Kenneth did take one drama but most of his time was focused on his studies and soccer. After five years, including a final year in Australia,

After the U of G, Kenneth went to work in the landscape architecture department of ESG International Inc., an environmental consulting firm based in Guelph. Kenneth worked on designs of trail master plans including: the TransCanada Trail, the City of Toronto bicycle master plan and a multi-use outdoor sports facility for Guelph. Kenneth told U of G "Profile" reporter Andrew Vowles that he enjoyed the work and appreciated the flexible hours that allowed him to fit in occasional round trips to Toronto for auditions. He began to get parts in television commercials. Kenneth then transferred to ESG's Toronto office, where; he met an agent and began working with acting coach David Rotenberg, learning to prepare for parts and how to listen and "be present" in a scene.

His first major role was in 2000, co-starring with Gena Rowlands in Charms for the Easy Life. Next came the sci-fi movie Odyssey 5, which became a TV series with Kenneth continuing his role as Marc Taggart. This was followed by a part in The Recruit with Al Pacino and Colin Farrell.

Kenneth's recent movie appearance is in the Haley Joel Osment 2007 film Home of The Giants.

    An actor with some great chops. His subtle approach is so powerful, welcomed and meaningful. hide show

    The more I watch him the more he engages me. His subtle approach is very powerful and meaningful. His face on camera just reams of emotion and thought. So many actors go big and show their work but Kenneth lays low and lets his internal dialogue shin through and it reads so well. A very talented man. I can't wait to see more and follow his career. He would be great in a western or something of that nature. He has a very handsome face yet unique in both his overall look and demenour. He reminds me of a young Jeff Bridges.

    What next?!? hide show

    I think that Kenneth Mitchell, who plays Eric Green on Jericho is a terribly pathetic actor who should never be shown on anything big again, even though Jericho isn't TV's absoloute best show. I have gone past the point where I think that it's just the character of the show that I don't like but I hate his character and his acting at the same time. I can't stand him!
