While he was filming Heartland, Kevin got a call for an audition for the character of Nathan and chemistry read with Erin Krakow for When Calls the Heart. Since Kevin was filming Heartland and couldn’t leave the set, his first audition was via Zoom, and he was called back later for an in-person audition when his schedule allowed. Lori Loughlin picked him up at the hotel and drove him to the audition. Shortly thereafter, he was offered the role of Nathan.
