Kevin Corcoran was born on June 10, 1949 in Santa Monica, California, as Kevin Anthony Corcoran. He was an assistant director and actor, known for Old Yeller (1957), Swiss Family Robinson (1960) and Toby Tyler or Ten Weeks with a Circus (1960).

He was one of eight children, all of whom acted in films during the 1950s and '60s. Kevin says: "While my father was working at MGM, he heard that children were needed to play some extra roles," Corcoran recalled. "By the time I arrived - No 5 of eight children - the Corcoran kids had been established in the (film) industry.

He is brother of William Corcoran Jr., Donna Corcoran, Noreen Corcoran, Hugh Corcoran, Brian Corcoran, Kerry Corcoran, and Kelly Corcoran.

"Moochie" - a nick-name supposedly bestowed by Walt Disney himself, became Kevin Corcoran's onset moniker - as well as the "Mickey Mouse Club" character's name, during much of Kevin's performing career.

Young Kevin was fortunate to come along during a successful period of Disney's live-action movies. But Disney was fortunate too because Corcoran embodied its vision of the "American every-kid", who the Disney studio saw as "a highly intelligent human being - characteristically sensitive, humorous, open-minded, eager to learn, (with) a strong sense of excitement, energy, and a healthy curiosity about the world in which he lives."

He played Tommy Kirk's brother in five different films: Old Yeller (1957), The Shaggy Dog (1959), Swiss Family Robinson (1960), Bon Voyage! (1962) and Savage Sam (1963).

Savage Sam (1963) was the sequel to Old Yeller (1957), following the adventures of the Coates brothers and Savage Sam, son of Old Yeller.

He was also in several non-Disney productions, including guest spots on TV series such as Wagon Train, The Littlest Hobo and My Three Sons with one of his favorite actors, Fred MacMurray. It was probably around the time of the latter 1968 film Blue that he graduated from a Roman Catholic high school in Los Angeles, attended California State University, Northridge, receiving a Bachelor's Degree in theater arts.

He was married to Laura Soltwedel. He died on October 6, 2015, in Burbank, California and cremated at Neptune Society in Sherman Oaks, California. His ashes were sprinkled into the Pacific Ocean.
