Whether as an actor, singer-songwriter, narrator or improv comedian, Kirby Heyborne has likely put a smile on your face — which in turn has put a smile on his! Starting his career 20 years ago with the hit Latter-day Saint film, “Singles Ward,” Kirby has been featured in many TV and movie roles along the way, including “The Best Two Years,” “Saints and Soldiers” and Super Bowl commercials. Most recently, Kirby hosts BYUtv’s “Making Good,” where he joins organizations around the country that are making a difference in the world. That’s right, Kirby gets his hands dirty helping nonprofits. The show “makes me cry a lot,” he says. After each episode, Kirby performs a song dedicated to the organization — an act which brings all of his talents full-circle.
