Early Life
Kin had a difficult childhood after his parents’ deaths, Eileen McDermott and Herb Shriner, in a vehicle accident — he and his twin brother Wil Shriner were shortly placed with their grandmother in Texas. It was difficult for the brothers to cope with the stress created by their parents’ deaths, particularly as teens — they sought solace in acting, and both joined their high school’s performing organizations. Due to their desire to assist their grandma and keep their thoughts occupied, they both obtained employment and finally resumed their lives. Kin and Wil concentrated on their performing careers after enrollment, and none of them enrolled in college.
