STEVEN STRAIT

Date of Birth: March 23, 1986

Born and raised in Greenwich Village, Steven Strait paid his own tuition at the private high school he attended by working as a model. He studied acting at Stella Adler Acting Studio and the Black Nexus Acting Studio, and began performing on the New York stage at an early age.

His first onscreen role came at 15, as a guest on the hit TV series Third Watch. By the time he was 18, Steven had earned a supporting role in the major motion picture Sky High (2005), starring Kurt Russell. A month later, he landed a leading role in the independent film, Undiscovered (2006), alongside Ashlee Simpson.

In Columbia Pictures' The Covenant (2006), he played a private school student with supernatural powers and did his own stunts.

He followed that up with Roland Emmerich's action film 10,000 B.C. (2008), the the drama Stop-Loss (2008), starring the likes of Ryan Phillippe, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Abbie Cornish.

In 2012, he was cast in the role of Stevie Evans on the Starz Entertainment TV series Magic City, about Miami mobsters in the late 1950s. That led to a starring role on the Syfy Channel's sci-fi series The Expanse, appearing in every episode from 2015 to 2019.

Most recently, Steven was cast as Gene Simmons, the bassist and co-lead singer of the rock band Kiss in the biopic Spinning Gold, possibly due in part to his experience as the lyricist and lead singer for the band Tribute.

Steven was married from 2007 to 2013 to actress Lynn Collins.
