Kevin Reardon Lloyd (28 March 1949 - 2 May 1998) was a British actor, born in Derby, best known for his part of DC Tosh Lines in Thames Television's The Bill.

Prior to this he had already played the high profile role of nightclub owner, Don Watkins, in the soap opera Coronation Street.

A chronic alcoholic, he played DC Tosh Lines continuously from 1988 until he was sacked from The Bill in 1998 for his lack of punctuality and failing to learn his lines. A week later he had died from a "drink binge," choking on his own vomit, in Burton-upon-Trent.

He was the brother of ITN reporter, Terry Lloyd who was killed in the field whilst reporting on the 2003 Invasion of Iraq.
