Kevin J. O'Connor found immediate fame just after college for his role as a leading love-interest in Francis Ford Coppola's 1986 film Peggy Sue Got Married. Though he has yet to attain star status, O'Conner has subsequently worked steadily, playing supporting roles in films such as Steel Magnolias (1990), F/X2 (1992), Hero (1993), and Disney's remake of The Love Bug (1997). Entering the new millennium, O'Connor secured supporting roles in two short-lived television series, The Others and Gideon's Crossing, before turning up as Igor in the 2004 big-budget horror-actioner Van Helsing.
