I was so sorry to hear about Kevin - I can't quite believe it.
I knew him best,as most people do,as Ares in Xena and Hersules- hw was a fantastic actor and my heart goes out to all his family and friends at this terrible time.
I am from the states so I really only knew Kevin Smith's works in Xena and Hercules. And of those I can truly say he WAS Ares. I do not think I can really name those actors who have taken a character and really made it his/her own. His abilities are breathtaking and he is a huge loss to the entertainment industry. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family, who will be mourning this loss the worst. May God be with you.
