Steve portrayed Norman Bulansky, the Nathan Lane role in the play “The Boys Next Door”. A fictional character that was imbued with such a level of pathos and realism that it made one feel like they were watching a documentary on stage. Steve has also portrayed real life characters as well. In the TV show, “I Married A Mobster” he played the role of real life ex-convict, Michael DeLucia to great acclaim. In 2011 Steve produced and created the sketch comedy show, “Whatever Goes TV”.

About Steve's Casting Type

Steve is often cast as a likable, blue-collared average Joe. Everything from a simple, good-natured, endearing man-child(i.e. Norman Bulansky from The Boys Next Door) to a troubled,down-on-their-luck and trying to get ahead in life character (i.e. Mel Edison from Prisoner of Second Avenue). He has played other memorable roles that are dark and sinister (i.e.Archangel Ralph in Ten To Eternity, Frankie in Mama Needs A Ride, and Renfield in Dracularama) but he would love to sink his teeth into Randie McMurphy in "One flew over the Cuckoo's Nest" , Joe Clay from "Days of Wine and Roses", Michal from "The Pillowman".

People often say his facial expressions remind them of:
Joey from Friends and even Ralph Kramden from The Honeymooners. 
Also, Actors Jack Nicholson, Jack Lemmon, Peter Falk, Nicholas Cage and Joe Pantoliano.

Steve's natural comedic personality is ideal for "frustrated" characters in outrageous situations. His authentic Brooklyn accent is sure to lead him towards being cast in New York roles such as a street thug, a made-man in the mafia, a loving father/brother/friend, or a NYPD detective.

Steve sincerely hopes that this paints a clear picture for you. He is reliable and eager to continue booking new projects and would love to hear from you.
