Kevin got picked for the role of Ethan Benchley without even auditioning for it. He had completed a pilot of a show called 'Finally Home', which was about 3 children who were adopted by a family that had lost a child in an accident. It was produced by Aaron Spelling as is Titans. Aaron decided that Kevin was the guy he was looking for to play Ethan, so he contacted him. Titans follows the wealthy Williams family through love triangles, alcoholism, deaths, and the lives of all sorts of members of a sometimes dysfunctional family but who are all fiercely protective of other family members and their company, headed by the father, Richard Williams played by Perry King. Kevin comes into the show in episode 3 and plays a bit of a 'bad-ass' in his words, but he goes to live with his aunt Gwen played by Victoria Principle, because his father abandons him and his mother has died. Here are the summaries of the episodes with Kevin in. EPISODE 3- Guess Who's Chumming For Dinner? Ethan is delivered by child welfare officers to his aunts house.

Gwen calls all the family to a dinner and presents Ethan as the guest of honour. He isn't very pleased at being dressed up in a 'monkey suit' and being paraded around and trie to run away. Gwen thought he might try this and is ready for him when he tries to make his escape and convinces him to stay. EPISODE 4- Stormy Heather.
