Among his first professional roles were guest parts on La Femme Nikita and A Simple Wish. After a move to Vancouver landed him a recurring role on MTV's comedy series 2Gether, Steve returned to his hometown of Toronto to star with Rachel McAdams of Wedding Crashers in MTV's Shotgun Love Dolls.

The blonde-haired actor with sapphire blue eyes has guest starred on several TV shows, including Now What? with Adam Brody, Mutant X and UPN's Kevin Hill. His feature film credits include the indie My Brother's Keeper, Artisan Entertainment's House of the Dead and Universal's Slap Shot II.

To add depth and believability to his role as the star sports attraction of Falcon Beach, Steve worked with the top names in professional wakeboarding to learn the skills of riding the hottest new equipment on water since the surf board and jet ski.

Steve, who spent many summers at his family's cottage in Muskoka, Ontario, says Falcon Beach "is about the most special of seasons in a young adult's life. Whether you're a local kid who lives year round in a small town on the water or a city kid who vacations there, summer is about first tastes and lasting memories."
