around

15 years of age,  Kirk was taking frequent 80 minute train rides from

Fairfield County CT to New York City for scattered commercial auditions...came close a helluva lot.  Opting for the college experience, Kirk graduated from Lynchburg College in

Virginia with a BA in Communications, business minor,

& baseball major, proudly playing for the

Lynchburg College Hornets!  

after college

Kirk jumped back to NYC studying acting, advertising &

screenwriting at the School of Visual Arts where his dad,

Charles I. Jarvis,  was teaching video.  Irv,  at the time, was

producing & directing countless television & news shows at

WPIX 11 as well as commercials,  television broadcasts  &

  beauty pageants worldwide. Irv co-created & directed the

original Christmas Yule Log while at WPIX and produced &

directed the magical children's show, The Magic Garden.

Kirk’s mom

Connie Jarvis, was an accomplished theatrical actress taking

on one lead role after another.  She studied & performed

under the direction of acclaimed NYC theatrical director,

Gene Frankel. Sensing Kirk had continued acting ambitions,

Connie suggested that he too study with Gene if his

pursuit of acting was indeed serious in nature.

after

several years of study with Mr. Frankel, Kirk began auditioning

& gathering experience in commercials, stage, film & daytime

television.  Kirk has written national TV commercials and
