You could say Kevin Alves started laying the groundwork for his role in “Yellowjackets” when he was still a child.
Kevin plays Travis, son of the team’s head coach and arguably the most important male character in the female-centric show. “The first question was that I don’t need to know anything that’s going to happen to him in the future, but if there’s anything from his past that’s going to really effect his decisions now that we’re going to maybe find out later, I wanted to know those things.
That might have been a particular blessing in regards to Episode 9, during which Travis loses his virginity to one of the players, even though he’s in love with another; is sexually and physically attacked by a group of the girls, who are high on magic mushrooms; and nearly has his throat cut. “It was one of my favourite moments to play,” said Alves, who praised Thatcher for her professionalism and talent. “If someone’s paying attention, they can see that he really doesn’t want to go anywhere but be with , but he’s a teenage boy who’s going to make terrible decisions.”
