Kevin Volchok (often simply referred to as Volchok) is a fictional character on the FOX television series The O.C., portrayed by Cam Gigandet.
The name Kevin Volchok was taken from Endeavor's agent of the same name, who represents Adam Brody (Seth).
Volchok is Johnny Harper's top rival for a surfing sponsorship though they used to be close friends. Later, Johnny catches his girlfriend, Casey, cheating on him with Volchok, who justifies it with, "You got my sponsorship, I got your girl. Seems fair to me." Later, Johnny decides to confront Volchok at the beach, but before a fight can ensue, Ryan Atwood intervenes and ends up punching Volchok in the face.
That punch lands Ryan another enemy for the rest of the season. Volchok persistently tries to pursue a rematch with Ryan including confronting him at the diner, keying "Lil' Bitch" into the Cohens' car, taking money from Marissa Cooper, and kidnapping her for ransom with a payoff of a fight with Ryan. Ryan ends up at the pier seemingly ready to fight him but breaks a glass bottle and tells Volchok that he had better be prepared to die or kill him.
Volchok is not seen again until after Johnny's death, which he takes badly. Marissa, empathizing with this change and the need for closure, begins a casual relationship with him. In the meantime, while Ryan pursues a relationship with Sadie Campbell, Johnny's cousin, it becomes apparent that Volchok previously had a relationship with Sadie that deepens their rivalry. Eventually Volchok and Marissa develop a casual romantic relationship first fueled by Marissa's growing distance from her friends and Volchok's desire to anger Ryan.
The relationship evolves into something serious, with Volchok once falling asleep watching The Sound of Music while trying to get to know Marissa better. Then Marissa catches Volchok cheating on her at prom, which ends their relationship. He also steals the post-prom party money, a few thousand dollars, from Taylor, though Ryan retrieves the cash. Ryan shows up at Volchok's place, and a fight finally breaks out between the two. Volchok has the upper hand and is going to finish Ryan off with a cigarette holder. Realizing that he was in the same position with older brother Trey, Ryan appears to learn from that beat down. As Volchok smashes Ryan's face with the weapon, Ryan blocks it and turns Volchok on his back. Ryan repeatedly bashes Volchok in the face with his fist, beating him nearly to death before realizing his previous fight with Trey ended in a similar situation, which prompts Ryan to stop. He takes Volchok to a nearby hospital, and Volchok says he was jumped and doesn't know who did it. Volchok assures Ryan that "this isn't over". He blackmails Ryan initially to participate in a robbery, along with car theft, to help him escape Newport, and finally to get Marissa to talk to him again when he realizes that she was the best thing to ever happen to him.
