What If on Netflix cast: Who plays Kevin? Who is actor Derek Smith?

What/If was released on Netflix on Friday, May 24 with an all-star cast playing out the drama on-screen. The What/If cast includes the likes of Oscar-winner Renée Zellweger and Glee star Blake Jenner as Anne Montgomery and Sean Donovan, respectively, as well as former Criminal Minds actor Derek Smith as Kevin. But who is the man behind Kevin and why may fans recognise actor Smith?
