  • OCT ’20: Nevin filmed a major supporting role in the female led spaghetti western independent film, “Vengeance Turns”. He portrays a complex, multi-cultural character named “Ghost with Silent Knives Protects”. His role was quite physically demanding…not only the actual physicality of the character, but the physical skillset required to pull off certain action shots. Due to Covid, the usual training – in the gym and with stunt/fight trainers – was not really possible (except for the stunt choreography learned the day before the shoot). That meant home workouts (lots of pushups!) and a maxi-climber for cardio.
    He also scoured youtube for tutorials on how to do a few key movements that he thought would look good on camera and also mesh with the character’s backstory. While it would’ve been preferable for 3 to 6 months to get into shape (after getting muffin-top chubby during quarantine, yikes!), and to hone  fight skills a bit more, during the 5 weeks he did have he busted his but to get to this level by shoot day.One of the many things Nevin loves most about acting is getting deep into his characters by learning different skills, languages, accents, and telling stories about different cultures. Also for this character, with his complex, multi-cultural background and upbringing, Nevin created a unique accent that would reflect this. 🙏🏽⚔️🙌🏽🎭😎

    “As an actor of color, mixed ethnicity, I’ve never played a mixed ethnicity character until this project. To portray a part South Asian character, so layered and complex, and help build out the extensive backstory was so important and super exciting. We had creative brainstorming sessions with the talented Kelsey Jaffer (our characters are siblings) to create stories about their history, and how their heritage integrated with the indigenous North American tribes – keep an eye out for some material coming out in the future related to this, it’s pretty damn epic. There’s something really great about these characters – they represent the melting pot that is the US, for better or worse, and how cultures were marginalized, colonized, and absorbed into one another. While the main storyline of the film isn’t specifically about this, thematically it is paramount, and it has opened a conversation to examine many of these issues that most films do not even address. Thank you Bobby for being so open, sensitive, and collaborative about everything. Excited for the prospects of where the Vengeance Turns universe can go from here”, Nevin says.

  • SEP ’20: During the height of the coronavirus quarantine in April/May, Nevin accepted a filmmaking challenge by prolific producer Roger Corman to film a 2 minute quarantine short film with only the resources in the home where you’re quarantined, which had to be shot on a mobile phone.

He embarked on his career in the entertainment industry at the age of 4 when he began playing the violin and piano.
