As I stated above, it was within the pages of TV and movie magazines that I first crushed over actor Brian Kerwin. I loved his great face and wavy blond hair and the occasional shirtless shot in some of the articles that I found. It was only later, I began to see him pop up in movies and television shows.
I remember catching Kerwin in many of his TV appearances including his stints on Frasier, Desperate Housewives, The West Wing and as Jackie's boyfriend on Roseanne. Kerwin began acting professionally in 1977 and has worked steadily in both film and on television since.
Although Kerwin may not be a big star, he really has one of the most successful careers of any actor of his generation. He's appeared in many huge films and worked with some of the industries biggest stars. Kerwin has shared the screen with high profile actors including; Sally field, Sissy Spacek, Michelle Pfieffer, Robin Williams to name just a few.
In between roles in big screen hits, with big star power, Kerwin went back and forth from film to television with ease. He might be in a huge box office hit one month, then boarding an episode of The Love Boat the next. His ability to stand out, while easily slide into almost any role in any genre is one of the reasons for his success and longevity.

Oh how I wish there were more shots of Kerwin in his red speedo while appearing on those celebrity sports competitions in the 1980's. Thankfully, there are a few of them out there. Some of them, including Kerwin's appearances, are also on Youtube.
Sadly, Kerwin never bared all for a Playgirl Pictorial, he just appeared on the cover with Sally Field for an 1986 issue. You can check out the skin scenes I did find in the two posts below.
