About the author

Kevin Grevioux is an American actor, screenwriter, and comic book writer. He is best known for his role as Raze in the Underworld film series, which he co-created.


Hailing from Minneapolis, Minnesota, Kevin Grevioux was born in Chicago, Illinois and raised in various other states including Alaska, Oklahoma, Boston and New Jersey. He graduated from Howard University in Washington, D.C. with a degree in Microbiology, afterwards attending graduate school and this time working towards a Masters in Genetic Engineering. While studying, he congruently took screenwriting and cinematography classes as well, and by the time his first semester of grad school had finished, Kevin had chosen film as his preferred career and moved to Los Angeles, where he began to work as a writer in earnest. To this end he has written several scripts in various genres and has written and directed two short sci-fi films Indigo and Thanatos.

Kevin met 'Underworld' director Len Wiseman while working on the sci-fi hit Stargate: la puerta del tiempo (1994), when Len was a prop assistant and Kevin an extra. The two formed a friendship and later collaborated on a host of other ideas and concepts leading to the completion of two scripts, one of which was Underworld (2003). The idea for the concept was Kevin's; in addition, he wrote the original screenplay and treatment for the film in 2000.

Kevin has also studied acting and has had several small roles in television, film and commercials. Most recently in Planet of the Apes (2001), Charlie's Angels (2000), Marvel Comics' The Hulk and in Underworld (2003), playing the formidable Lycan character Raze. He also serves as an Associate Producer on the film and is currently working on several other screenplays as well as his first novel, a science fiction thriller.

Reviews

[Donnell · Rating 4 out of 5]

The book was exactly like the movie with the exception of knowing what the character was thinking in certain events in the book. Another thing that was different was the prologue.

[John Yelverton · Rating 4 out of 5]

A pretty decent graphic novel adaptation of the movie, though you should watch the film first.

[Terry Marine · Rating 3 out of 5]

Nonstop gore. A true gothic horror/action. I liked Sonja, and was disappointed to see her die, so all the dudes with the "thews" and mighty male parts, could continue. But, that's just my opinion.
