Timeline
He was awarded the 2010 Back Stage Garland Award for Performance in a Play for "Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo" at the Kirk Douglas Theatre in Los Angeles, California.
He was best man at the 2002 wedding of his old friend, actor Randolph Mantooth, to Kristen Connors.
Actress/singer and television personality Julie London took him under her wing, when he was 27. Their friendship lasted for almost 30 years, until London's death in 2000.
He alongside Randolph Mantooth had attended the memorial of his ex-Emergency! (1972) co-star, Bobby Troup, at Moonlight Tango Cafe in Encino, California, on 28 February 1999, to honor his life.
He won the Canadian "Genie" Award for his supporting role in A Man in Uniform (1993).
(1990), City of Hope (1991), Newsies (1992), What's Eating Gilbert Grape (1993), Jade (1995) and Mumford (1999). On TV he has had a number of prime support rules over the years playing everything from Thomas Jefferson and William Randolph Hearst to the Kansas patriarch who was senselessly slaughtered along with his family by the "In Cold Blood" killers. Known for his serious-minded roles, Kevin has tackled a number of generals, attorneys, governors, doctors, coaches, even psychics during his long career.
On film, however, Kevin did quite well by appearing in such high-profile movies as Matewan (1987), where he first played a "bad guy," Eight Men Out (1988), Road House (1989), Another 48 Hrs.
Although he made his Broadway debut with "Open Admissions" in 1984, the show folded after only a couple of weeks.
Along with Don Stroud, was strongly considered an alternate choice to George Kennedy for the role of Officer Lew Slade in Earthquake (1974).
This beefy, genial-looking character actor was born Jon Kevin Fishburn in Los Angeles. Performing as a child from age 10, Tighe initially attended Pasadena City College. He later obtained a Master's Degree in Theater, then taught drama at USC. Living Bohemian-style out of a suitcase after he decided to pursue acting professionally, he was in the United Kingdom trying to obtain work at various prestigious theater companies when producer Jack Webb acquired his services for the Emergency! (1972) medical series alongside Robert Fuller, Julie London, Bobby Troup and Randolph Mantooth. Tighe gained TV stardom as paramedic Roy DeSoto and the series lasted six years. Along with that came a spin-off animated series and some follow-up TV-movies. He returned to acting study in order to refresh his skills during the slow "post-Emergency" period and managed to work with such inspiring notables as Stella Adler. His perseverance paid off with a steady stream of gray-haired character roles starting in the 80s -- predominantly in rugged fare.
