Once his Masters in Physical Therapy was conferred, he worked briefly in a hospital setting before accepting a position at Performance Plus Group as a sports physical therapist. While pursuing his next degree, a Master of Science in Physical Therapy, at New York Medical College, Kevin also received his certification as a strength and conditioning specialist from the National Strength and Conditioning Association. While at NOI, Kevin also earned his certificate in Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation from the College of Health and Human Performance at the University of Florida college of medicine. At the age of 23, Kevin became the program director of the National Osteoporosis Institute (NOI). Upon earning his degree, Kevin accepted a position with the National Osteoporosis Institute to develop an exercise program for the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis. He began working as a certified personal trainer to help pay the rent while pursuing a BS in Exercise Science at Long Island University. But again, I did it and I thought, 'Well, this will never make it to the movie, it's too outrageous' - and it's the thing that most people seem to remember.Kevin has been working in the industry for over 25 years. I was doing ballet and Martha Graham and Paul Taylor and all kinds of crazy moves. I had a canister of oxygen, to do that over and over and over.
A guy gave me a couple, 'This is what is going on in all the gay clubs right now" - which I then argued, 'Yeah, but my character doesn't go to gay clubs, so he wouldn't know that.' But maybe intuitively!
This is a private moment, a man in his living room dancing to music and I can't be thinking about choreography. "They brought in a brilliant choreographer, and I said to Frank Oz, 'This is not about choreography. Kevin Kline dances unabashedly to "I Will Survive," in a test of his masculinity, in the comedy, "In and Out" (1997). We're not stupid enough to say, 'Sure, you can go off and do that movie for four months and I'm gonna go off and do this movie for six months and it's not gonna hurt our relationship.' It's like, get real." And Phoebe and I, before we had children, would take turns. I think it even started once you're married your decisions aren't just yours anymore. "So did she show you that there was life beyond acting?" Smith asked. She loved acting, but it wasn't her life. Kline told Smith he admired Cates' decision: "It was always one of the things I admired about Phoebe. Though Cates later appeared with Kline (along with their two children) in the 2001 film, "The Anniversary Party," she pretty much retired from acting following the birth of her first child, in 1991. Kevin Kline and Phoebe Cates co-starred in the 1994 historical drama "Princess Caraboo." But you're not gonna say, 'Oh, I nailed that one!'" he laughed. Because you're forced to reckon with some of the larger question. You want to find out where you're at? Play Hamlet this year. I mean, somewhere I read that Jane Austen used to read 'Hamlet' every year just to kind of know where she was in her life by how she responded. You never 'finish' a great masterpiece of Shakespeare's or Chekhov's." If I did 'Hamlet' now, obviously, it's going to be different than it was 30 years ago or whenever I did it. It's different one year and then ten years later. It's different from night to night, it's different from production to production. "You can be satisfied, like, 'Yeah, I think that was okay.' 'I got away with it.' Or, 'There were parts of it that - ' But you cannot be definitive. "And you're never satisfied?" Smith asked.
You can do it ten different times, you're never gonna finish it." I mean, I played Hamlet in two different productions. "If I'm asked to, I can tell you where I've failed and where it could have been better, sure. When asked by Tracy Smith if he ever studied or picked apart his performances afterwards, Kline said no. Kevin Kline as Hamlet, with Dana Ivey as Gertrude, in his 1990 production for PBS of "Hamlet."
