But it was never an easy road for Kevin as his hometown San Jose’s nightclub scene focused more on singing rather than comic. He started out as a struggling comedian performing non-school hours at nightclubs & anywhere he got opportunities.

Determined & focused never led that pull him back and he started finding work & creating opportunities for himself. His perfect timing comic & dead-on impersonations come handy and Rich Little invited then-17 year Kevin on stage so the two could have healthy competition while performing their version of Peter Falk character, Columbo.

The exposure among large audience opened doors for him and soon he started landing gigs. Upon moving to San Francisco, he made a name for himself after landing the second spot at the San Francisco International Comedy Competition in 1982.

With a vision to have a future in TV and films, Kevin hit the road again and this time moving to Los Angeles in 1983. It wasn’t easy as it sounded in mind but he did grab the attention of major personality and from there the boy of San Jose became the world-renowned comedian and actor.

He has also embraced the internet as an entertainment medium and has been successful. He launched his own eponymous web talk show called ‘Kevin Pollak’s Chat Show’ in 2009 and had fun one-on-one interviews with starlets like Dana Carvey, Jon Hamm, and Matthew Perry.
