His mom was a performer and agent, while his dad was an acting coach.
Kerwin made his first TV appearance in 1974 on an episode of Emergency!
While James at 16 only ran for one season, the show made him very popular among teens.
One of his biggest roles was playing Mark Petrie in the 1979 TV mini-series Salem’s Lot, which was based on the Stephen King novel.
Kerwin’s acting career ended in the 1990s, with his last role in the 1995 thriller Outbreak.
However, he did return to the film industry in 2022 for a small role in The Wind & the Reckoning.
Savanah assured her father’s fans and friends on Facebook that “he loved each and every one of you.”
The late actor is survived by his wife, Yvonne, their four children (Trinity, Terah, Kailani, and Justus Joe), and his daughter Savanah Paige who he had with his ex-wife Kristen Lansdale.
