Michael Kenworthy Interview with Michael Kenworthy The Blob LOVEITLOUDcouk

Kenworthy was offered one of the five male leads on the debut season of Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990). He declined because his family was urging him to attend college. Producer Aaron Spelling was uncharacteristically flustered by this; he warned Kenworthy that "You walk out now, and you'll never work in Hollywood again!" Michael took numerous theater/film-production courses at two separate universities...but even after getting his second degree, "I felt like I still didn't know anything. On the other hand, should Quentin Tarantino call me in, I'm there." His best known role is that of "Jesse," from 1988's horror-spoof Return of the Living Dead Part II; Kenworthy also appeared in a series of toy commercials for "Mad Scientist (TOO GROSS!)".

Michael cites Shawnee Smith, with whom he co-starred in the 1988 movie The Blob, as his first crush. "She and I hit it off pretty well. Whenever she went to hug me, I'd give her the hug plus a kiss. That always made her blush!"

Personal

Kenworthy graduated from:

  • Crespi Carmelite High School (Class of 1993);
  • Loyola Marymount University (Class of 1996); and
  • California State University, Northridge (Class of 1997).
  • Michael holds degrees in theater arts, telecommunications and broadcasting. Currently self-employed, he works with Wal-Mart on developing novelty items for young people including books and non-electronic gaming systems. Also, in more recent years, he has been nursing his elder sister Michelle through cancer treatments.
