CallMeKevin
Kevin O'Reilly (better known by his username Call Me Kevin, simply Kevin or zXNoRegretzzXz) is a popular Irish YouTuber who is known for his comical gameplay commentaries and other lifestyle type videos of a comedic nature. Kevin has described his channel as a variety gaming channel, though he will occasionally branch out and upload skits and music covers. The lion's share of Kevin's videos involve interaction with others online and capturing specific moments of comedy during gameplay, usually involving him breaking his game, causing havoc, or reluctantly completing certain tasks to progress.
Early life
Kevin was born on November 10th, 1993, and currently lives in Cork, Ireland. He also previously lived in Midleton, Ireland, and once lived in Scotland for a year.
In his Draw My Life video[1], Kevin described his childhood as him "doing what [he] does now, except [he] talked less", and joked that everyone probably found it nice because of the peace and quiet. He has a scar under his eye, which he says he got from falling over and hitting his head on a couch leg while spinning in circles with his sister. In a separate video on his old channel, he said it wasn't all bad because he missed out on going to church, since the accident occurred on a Sunday. He has also told various tales of how he got the scar, quipping that subscribers never got the same story and that the truth would be open to interpretation.
New channel
Kevin returned to YouTube for fun in late 2016 with his new channel, "CallMeKevin"[2], bringing over almost 8,000 subscribers from his old channel. He experienced slow growth on his channel for a while (for example, he'd get 30 subs one day and 6 subs the next), though his channel skyrocketed after an Ouya video he made went viral. He soon began doing YouTube full time, as he is now, and hit a million subscribers in 2017. This led to him getting recommended by YouTube and his growth on the platform becoming more steady. In March 2019, Kevin hit 2 million subscribers, a substantial number.
Friends and family
Kevin has a sister, but it is unknown if he has any other brothers or sisters. He is also friends with Jacksepticeye and RTGame and they've streamed many games together.
Characters
Kevin has also created a bunch of characters, which have become a very important part of his channel. These include:
Jim Pickens, a murderous cult leader who's married to death itself.
Grognak The Destroyer Attorney At Law Esquire M.D., an Attorney At Law who has no confirmed gender and loves buses.
Turg, a deformed racer who's obsessed with creating life and having sex with women.
Please note: Kevin has created a lot more characters, but these are the most popular.
The Official Podcast
Kevin once appeared in the Web series "The official Podcast" and talked about himself.
Subreddit
Kevin has his own Subreddit[3] on Reddit which consists of memes, discussions and more centered around Kevin's characters and Kevin himself.
