Steve Eastin grew up on the plains of eastern Colorado. He appeared in
his first play at the age of six. From then on, he felt the pull of
performing. He always felt his destiny lay in the coastal mountains of
Southern California. He developed an affinity for such icons as Burt
Lancaster and Robert Mitchum. He received his Actors Equity card at 16,
when he appeared in two musicals choreographed by Michael (A Chorus
Line) Bennett. In 1970, Steve graduated Cum Laude with a degree in
English Literature Ed. from the University of Northern Colorado. While
at UNC, he appeared in serveral productions at The Little Theater of
the Rockies. This company also boasts Nick Nolte as one of its alumni.
After completing his undergraduate work, Steve received a Fellowship to
teach at the University of Arizona. While at the U of A, he was cast in
his first SAG role opposite Clint Eastwood in the Universal film Joe
Kidd. Subsequently, while in Tucson, he appeared in seven episodes of
the NBC/Paramount series Petrocelli with Barry Newman. In 1975, Steve
fulfilled a dream by moving to Hollywood.
Upon his arrival, Steve enrolled in the Charles Conrad Studio,
where he studied for four years. While there he was in Conrad's teacher
training program. Soon, he began to book. He guest starred in such
classic shows as Little House, Hill St. Blues, NYPD Blue, The Gilmore
Girls, The A-Team, Without A Trace and over two hundred others. He also
found himself in the ranks of the top commerical actors, having
appeared in numerous spots such as Morgan Stanley, General Electric and
New York life. His feature film career has also been blessed with such
films as Field of Dreams, Bound By Honor, Austin Powers, The Scout, Con
Air, Catch Me If You Can with Leo DiCaprio, A Man Apart with Vin Diesal
and Matchstick Men with Nick Cage. In 2005, Steve is re-curring on The
Gilmore Girls and appearing in The Black Dahlia with Hilary Swank and
Scarlett Johannsen.
Steve continues his acting career while keeping the acting
school as his top priority. He teaches with a deep affinity for his
students. He remembers where he came from and knows what they are up
against.
