Born February 17th, 1961, in Portland, Oregon, U.S.A., Steve moved to Los Angeles, where he made his film debut in the teenaged slasher flick, _Sweet 16 (1981)_ , opposite ‘Bo Hopkins’ . The following year he broke all of the girls hearts in the popular Cannon produced film, The Last American Virgin (1982), alongside ‘Lawrence Monoson’ . Roles in The Goonies (1985) and _Survival Quest (1987)_ , then led to what should have been his big break, when he co-starred with ‘Jodie Foster’ and ‘Kelly McGillis’ in the Academy Award winning film, The Accused (1988), as a fraternity undergraduate involved in a bar room rape incident. He then appeared in ‘Sandra Bernhard’ 's screen version of her hit one- woman Broadway show, Without You I'm Nothing (1990), plus roles in the films Drive (1991), It's My Party (1996) and the romantic comedy-drama, _'Til There Was You (1997)_ . Steve has also dabbled in writing and producing, starring opposite Bo Hopkins once again and an all-star cast in the independent film, Inside Monkey Zetterland (1992). Steve adapted the screenplay _Gloria (1999)_ , starring ‘Sharon Stone’ and ‘George C. Scott’ , from the 1980 version by ‘John Cassavettes’ .
