The musician was best known for his role as Freddy Jones, a.k.a. “Spazzy McGee,” in the 2003 film, which was later turned into a Broadway musical. He had no prior acting experience before landing the part, but his mother said he expressed his musical interests by “hitting pots and pans” at age 3.

“He’s just a raw talent,” Allison Clark told the Chicago Sun-Times of her son shortly after his death. “He’s got a heart of gold.”

Kevin did not act again after School of Rock but continued his career as a drummer, playing a show with his band as recently as Saturday, May 22.

“He was motivated and loved to write songs,” Rob Goldberg, a school friend who was Clark’s roommate and bandmate in the group Robbie Gold, told the Sun-Times. “He loved to take the guitar off the wall and make a funny song.”

In 2013, Clark reunited with Black and the rest of his School of Rock castmates for a performance to celebrate the film’s 10th anniversary. Though he quickly realized that he didn’t want to continue acting, he had pleasant memories of doing the movie.

“For my eighth-grade social studies class I had to interview somebody I admired,” he recalled in a 2013 interview with Entertainment Weekly, adding that he bought himself a computer and “a thousand dollars’ worth of cymbals” with his salary. “So I asked Jack, ‘Hey, can we do an interview?’ and he was like, ‘Yeah, come by my trailer.’ So I go in there and he’s playing Xbox BMX XXX, and I sat there and he gave me a classic interview. He’s my hero.”
