A native of Levittown, Long Island, NY, vocalist-cum-actor Kevin Covais entered the public eye as a teenager. While still a student at Island Trees High School, Covais auditioned for the fifth season (ca. 2006) of the blockbuster Fox network reality series American Idol; though he made the cut to compete in the series per se, he ultimately lost the competition as an 11th-place finalist. Covais transitioned to features as Morris, the geeky, bespectacled college student in director Deb Hagan's critically excoriated frat boy comedy College.
