Kevin Stanton has learned the hard way that some dreams are not just pursued. They are fought for.
At 42, based in Lino Lakes, Minnesota, Kevin wears many creative hats. He is an actor, model, stuntman, and production assistant with experience on both sides of the camera. But the road here has been anything but smooth.
A few years ago, Kevin attended a career fair that should have changed his life. Instead, it became a moment he would carry with him for years. “I was told they wanted me to attend an event,” he recalls. “But I didn’t follow through, and I realized I had screwed up.” It wasn’t just a missed opportunity. It was a wake-up call.
His journey since has been shadowed by challenges most wouldn’t imagine. “Lies. Defamation. Repetitive arrests without cause,” he says. “Even as a federal whistleblower, it felt like the more I tried to do the right thing, the more I was punished.” But in that turmoil, something else began to take shape. A calling.
Kevin realized he wasn’t just chasing a career. He was building a platform to inspire others. “It means something when people hear what I’ve been through,” he says. “It gives them strength.”
Still, progress has been difficult. “I can’t seem to get a foothold anywhere,” he admits. But that has not stopped him. His work in film production, his physicality as a stuntman, and his passion for acting continue to drive him. What he craves now is a change of environment. “I need to get out of Minnesota,” he says plainly. “There’s something bigger waiting for me.”
Kevin’s message to anyone who feels stuck or overlooked is one of raw resilience. “It is never too late,” he says. “If you believe in your purpose, you keep going.”
What defines Kevin Stanton is not just talent. It is tenacity. He doesn’t claim to have all the answers. But he does know this. He is not finished yet.
