Kevin James, The King Of Queens – 80 Pounds
Born in Mineola, New York, Kevin George Knipfing pursued a career as an actor and comedian with the moniker Kevin James. Between 1998 and 2007, he gave life to Doug Heffernan’s character in CBS’s The King of Queens and starred in Kevin Can Wait.
In 2012, James was tasked with slimming down for his role in Here Comes the Boom. Even though it seemed impossible at first, he had to shed 80 pounds in a short while. He managed to pull through by sticking to a strict diet and practicing martial arts under the trainer Ryan Parsons.
