• Due to the name similarity, we have been receiving quite a bit of mail regarding the untimely death of actor Kevin Smith. Though he shares a stage name with Kevin Smith of View Askew Productions (for whom we run this website), they are not the same individual.

Smith starred in many New Zealand stage, television and feature films and is perhaps best known for his role as Ares in Xena: Warrior Princess. News Askew would like to send our condolences to his friends and family. More news later.
