Throughout the 1970s, the Southern California native was a prominent young actor, and he appeared as Ramey Holvak in “The Family Holvak,” a TV series about a priest attempting to feed his family in the 1930s.
He also appeared in the 1977 coming-of-age drama “James at 15,” which was renowned for its honest representation of juvenile life in a way that was uncommon on television at the time.
Kerwin later appeared in “Salem’s Lot,” Tobe Hooper’s 1979 TV version of Stephen King’s novel. In the CBS miniseries, he portrayed young Mark Petrie, who helps protect his community against wicked vampires.
His work on the cult-favorite miniseries won him invitations to horror events on a monthly basis.
His final professional credit was in the 1995 film “Outbreak,” which he reprised in the 2022 film “The Wind and the Reckoning,” starring Johnathon Schaech.
