Stephen's odyssey in the entertainment industry commenced with a foray into Television, Film, and Theater, his humble beginnings rooted in the culturally rich state of Texas. During the late 1990s, he resided in Los Angeles, honing his craft as a skilled Makeup Artist, yet his true vocation lay in acting. It was during this pivotal period that he secured his inaugural feature film role as George in the 1998 production 'Thugs'. However, life had other plans in store, and he eventually returned to Texas, unwittingly becoming ensconced in the corporate world for approximately 19 years. Throughout this tenure, he held three distinct positions, only to be laid off thrice, which ultimately prompted him to reassess his priorities and pursue his long-held aspiration of acting.
As the calendar flipped to 2018, Stephen embarked on a remarkable journey to reinvigorate his acting career, marking a significant turning point in his professional trajectory. This resurgence was characterized by a series of appearances in various commercials, as well as short films that have garnered widespread recognition and acclaim, with some even being showcased at esteemed film festivals.
One notable highlight from this period was his dramatic television debut on an episode of the Reelz Channel's crime docu-drama 'Murder Made Me Famous', where he brought the renowned journalist Jimmy Breslin to life in a captivating portrayal. The episode centered around the infamous 'Son of Sam' killer, a notorious figure in American criminal history.
Today, Stephen resides in the heart of Texas with his loving wife, two devoted dogs, and a mischievous cat, surrounded by the warmth and tranquility of his adopted home.
