Career

All My Children

Kennedy's first portrayal of Peter Cortlandt aired on July 11, 2008. Peter "Petey" Cortlandt was born late in life to Opal and Palmer. Pete returned to Pine Valley as a teen and immediately fell head over heels in love with Colby Chandler played by co-star Brianne Moncrief. To prove his love he offered to help her cover up her part in the hit-and-run of Richie Novak; she initially refused but then gave in. Luckily, Colby was cleared of the charges. Pete confessed his love many times but Colby would not listen so he teamed up with Adam Chandler and offered to help him ruin Fusion's new perfume, 'Bella', in exchange for Adam's blessing with Colby. Adam agreed; Pete tainted the perfume with his own concoction, but not before he was struck by lightning.[3]

Cambridge

After leaving All My Children, Kennedy earned a Master of Philosophy from Clare College, Cambridge on a full academic scholarship. His dissertation on Creativity and Precognition, which was supervised by Nobel Prize-winning physicist, Brian Josephson, earned him a mark of Distinction.[4]
