Joel's Bloghttp://joelnicholsblog.wordpress.com/2008/07/21/star-quality/ [Joel's Blog] Star Quality!: Kurt also makes several appearances in a couple of upcoming movies:  The Express with Dennis Quaid, in which Kurt plays a college football player, and Public Enemies starring Johnny Depp.  Kurt plays a bank clerk who gets robbed by Depp’s John Dillinger.  All of this acting stuff is sort of surprising.  Kurt was always rather quiet and shy growing up.  Maybe it was just because he was surrounded by loud-mouths like his father and uncles.  Anyway, I don’t think he was ever in a high school play.  More a jock than a joker.  Then, one day, post high school, he auditioned for a community player’s production and got a part.  Later, he did some work in Chicago’s improv community.
