: 1) What risk?
The risk is simply that something he does in the future even remotely resembles something you had in your script. Hell, George Lucas sued Glen Larsen over Battlestar Galactica because they were both set in space and had robots in them (I know, and oversimplification for an example).
: 2) To be a nice guy . . . . actually if Kevin does read this, if there were no legal problems , would u read peoples scripts?
Kevin would NOT read scripts even if there weren't a legal issue because he hates reading scripts. No lie, he's stated many a time that he simply dislikes it. He reads friends scripts on a rare occasion (Ben, Vincent, etc.) as a favor to them.
So basically, if you aren't his friend (and it's obvious you aren't), don't bother to question it.
