Stephen Howard's professional acting career began in the 1980s, marked by a stint with Charlotte talent agency JTA after being stranded jobless and desperate in Charlotte, North Carolina.
His community theatre experience provided a foundation for landing roles in commercials and Movies of the Week, including "The Ryan White Story", "Unspeakable Acts", and "Terror on Highway 59", all shot in the Carolina's.
Following Dino DeLaurentis's opening of his studio in Wrightsville Beach, NC, Steve secured roles in films such as "Weekend at Bernie's", "King Kong Lives", and "Dracula's Widow".
He eventually made his way back to Hollywood in 1990, continuing his career in TV, film, commercials, and theatre, performing in a variety of productions.
In 2011, Steve took the stage at The Edgemar Center for the Arts in Santa Monica, playing Greg opposite Tanna Frederick's "Sylvia" and Cathy Arden, with Tom Ayers in drag.
During the run, he also performed as Doug Denby in Henry Jaglom's "The M Word" alongside Michael Imperioli, Francis Fisher, Gregory Harrison, Zack Norman, and Tanna Frederick.
The following year, 2013, was marked by Steve's performance as H.C. Curry, the patriarch of the Curry Family, in "The Rainmaker" at The Edgemar Center for the Arts, with a film adaptation shot by Henry Jaglom during the run, titled "Ovation", set to have its sneak preview at the Aero theatre in Santa Monica on April 28th.
Steve can also be seen in Episode 6 of "The Hand of God" on Amazon and as a bereaved father on "Castle", both shot during the run of an original play, "Train To Zakopane", in which he created the role of Father Alexandrov.
Additionally, he is set to appear in the Environmental Action/Adventure film "The Pollution Machine", co-created with Thomas Zoeschg, and the Dramady "EVERY NIGHT AND EVERY DAY", co-created with Zoeschg, scheduled to begin principal photography in January 2017.
