Kevin Levesque(I)
- Actor
From humble beginnings in Mississauga, Ontario to dancing in the
hallways and entertaining his parents with renditions from "Beauty and
the Beast" in the living room, Kevin Levesque couldn't stop moving.
Ironically enough, it wasn't until Kevin was 6 years old that he joined
a hockey team and realized he was meant to be a performer. He yearned
for the stage. Years later, Kevin joined the Mississauga Youth Theatre
and landed his first role as Bobby Shaftoe in the production "Babes in
Toyland". His entire family came to see it, and Kevin recalls, "I was
fabulous!" Kevin went on to study drama at the Cawthra Park School for
the Arts until grade ten brought an overdose of Shakespeare. Not
interested in the tragic bard, Kevin switched his focus to dance. After
high school, he began coming downtown and frequenting Toronto's gay
village. He saw his first drag show when he was 19 and loved it! After
a dare to try drag from a friend, Kevin gave it a shot. His first
performance went off without a hitch and Miss Conception was born! From
there on in, Kevin has won countless titles, including the first
Zelda's Drag Idol, Miss Canada Continental, Smirnoff Twisted, Coors
Lite Queen of Halloween, Ontario's Next Top Drag Queen, Drag Idol, Miss
Gay Universe, Miss Gay Toronto, and Entertainer of the Year. He's also
appeared in "Queer as Folk," "Degrassi: The Next Generation," and the first ever contestant in drag on "Wipeout Canada."
