Really? As a regular character or as a guest star? (Oh I was thinking of Desperate Housewives...)
What is Good housekeeping? A tv program? He'd be there for an interview not a role, is it so?

I picked up the Good Housekeeping issue today... I tried scanning, but that feature of my all in one machine doesn't seem to want to work It's an interview about his family life. The text is about 3/4 of a page. I could type the article out by hand if you'd like....let me know if you'd like me to do so.

Good Housekeeping ...October 2009
Man of the House
Kevin McKidd
(No kidding: This dad's favorite time of day is story time)
The brogue catches you of guard. Kevin McKidd’s American accent, when he plays Army veteran surgeon Owen Hunt on GREY'S ANATOMY is so convincing that it’s easy to forget he’s a recent transplant from Britain. But off camera, he’s every bit the lad raised in Elgin, Scotland, though he insists, “I was brought up American TV, and now I get to emulate all the stuff I watched as a kid: I loved T.J. HOOKER, CAGNEY & LACEY.” Owen’s job description affords him another perk: “I get to be in charge. In my life, I feel—and it should be this way, I am NOT complaining—my wife and kids are in charge. I am along for the ride. So it’s fun to play a surgeon whom everyone defers to.” Now that the family—wife Jane Parker, son Joseph, 9, and daughter Iona, 7—and their three dogs have settled into their new digs in Los Angeles, McKidd, 36, says they revel in the “full-on” California life-style. Here, a glimpse at his day-to-day:
My handyman style is....different here than it was when we lived in Britain. I was very DIY there, but I had all my tools. Trying to take my power saw through Immigration would have been tricky. Now I’m building up my tool chest and tackling projects here—like replacing a rotten leg on a bench I bought for the garden.
My worst DIY moment was...when I tried to surprise my wife by refinishing the floor in our bedroom. I bought varnish and tools, ripped out the carpet, and rented this huge industrial sander—which wouldn’t work. After 10 hours, I said to my wife, “I’m sorry but we have to go to the carpet shop. Today.”
The one thing I always do around the house is...clean out the fridge.
The best part of being married is...the companionship when you have had a bad day.
The habit of my wife’s that drives me crazy is...she’s forgetful. We have a pool in our backyard, and every so often you need to top off the water. Well, today she put the hose on, forgot about it, and then left. I came home and the whole pool was overflowing!
The habit I have that drives my wife crazy is...not topping off the pool!
I knew I wanted to marry my wife when...we met at a holiday party when we were both working at theaters in London’s West End. Our eyes met across the room and that was it. I asked her to marry me two and a half weeks later, and about five months after that we got married. It was an intense romantic experience that I would not trade for anything.
Our favourite Saturday plans involve...staying in our pajamas all day. First, we cook pancakes—we never did that in Britain; Joseph likes blueberry and Iona likes chocolate chip—and then we’ll play some music. My son’s got a drum kit and I play the guitar, and we’ll jam.
The one family ritual that I never mess with is...reading stories at bedtime. There’s ALWAYS a story. I didn’t grow up like that. My parents were very loving and nurturing, but in Scotland you didn’t do it. But I’ve bonded with my kids on so many levels through reading—now they sometimes read back to me, which is a total joy. –BARI NAN COHEN
Since I can't use italics here, I capatilized anything that was italisized in the article, except DIY which was already capatilized.
I bet he laughed when he mentioned not topping off the pool....lol

This is a very typical Good Housekeeping article--focusing on fatherhood and family--I LOVED it! There are a couple of new tidbits I didn't know about KMK--his DIY abilities and the bedtime story ritual. Thanks for sharing.

Yes I read it today as well. The picture of Kevin is from a photo shoot we've seen before. He's in front of a tree. Nice little article. Thanks for typing it up Ladyvi. It was great to read a bit more about Kevin's homelife with Jane and the kids. The fact that's he's handy doesn't surprise me

I've helped my husband refinish floors. You need a working sander for a project like that LOL! The bit about the pool cracked me up. Kevin has said in the past that he is a romantic. No doubt after reading about his first meeting with Jane

Bless you Ladyvi thanks for typing it out... Lovely article, I always enjoy articles that show us how down to earth Stars can be ..... My hubby is a Leo and there many similarities in character and nature with Kevin, I just have to laugh, except now I would rather get someone in to do the jobs than let him do it... its always done with good intentions but we would also be off to buy new carpets LOL ;D ps Ladyvi Italics = if you look under Add Tags above in a post window you will see the second button is the button for Italics - highlight your text and then click that button
