Kevin was the main protagonist of the original script for Ridley Scott's Alien, titled StarBeast. He was a member of a spaceship crew who encountered a strange alien species.
His role is later seperated into two characters in the final product: Ellen Ripley and Arthur Dallas.
Behind the scenes[]
Kevin was actually the second version of Ripley. Before him, the character was named Martine Roby and would've been more accurate to Ripley's in the final product.[1]
The reason for the change in character's gender was because Ridley wanted to see a strong female figure in horror movies media.
