Kevin Bosley as Alan Wheatley in Martin Hall
Bosley was born in Johannesburg South Africa in May 1967 and emigrated with his father in 1974 when his mother died. The family were quite wealthy in South Africa but struggled in Georgeland. Bosley attended public high schools and the University of Scoita, graduating with a liberal arts degree in 1990. Active in the university's repetory company, the famous ScoRep, Bosley acted in small roles after graduating while working a variety of jobs to pay the bills, including as a nightclub pianist, a mechanic, a waiter and a racing announcer. In 1996 he recieved his first major acting break when he appeared in an episode of police drama The Beat as a criminal lawyer - so impressed with his performance were the producers that he was invited back several times as the character, and became somewhat of a fan favourite.
Between 1996 and 2001, Bosley played supporting or guest roles in a number of TV series while simultaneously appearing on the stage. He played the lead role of John Proctor in Arthur Miller's The Crucible in its 2002 run.
Bosley was cast as the Prime Minister, Alan Wheatley, in Martin Hall after he auditioned for a different role, that of Robbie, the Chief of Staff. Producer Joe Starnes thought he would be more suited to the role of Wheatley and cast him to play the Prime Minister.
Bosley is an accomplished singer and dancer, having practiced both these skills for many years despite receiving no formal training until his mid-thirties. His first major musical role was in in Cabaret (2003) and Jesus Christ Superstar(2005). He starred as Leo Bloom in the 2007 Georgeland production of The Producers, in which he played opposite Trevor Albert. He left the role in 2008 after a season. In 2009, he toured with the Georgeland production of Spamalot as Sir Robin. Bosley is set to star in Mamma Mia in 2010-11. In an interview with the GBC in April 2010, Bosley stated that musicals were his favourite role and that he hoped to do many more of them once his role on Martin Hall finishes.
Bosley is openly gay, and lives in Santa Christina with his partner John Carrick, a medical doctor, and their two adopted children. Bosley is a strong supporter of the Liberal Democratic Party of the United Islands.
