Introducing A Star In The Making, Steven Strait


When I decided to start this article and introduce, new up and coming actors from films and T.V. I wonder who could be my first project. Unexpectedly this surprising gem come my way. His name is Steven Strait, you may not have heard of him, but he has done a few movies. I wanted my reader to know a little more about this remarkable man, talents. Steven Strait was born and raised in Greenwich Village, New York City. As a child, he attended P.S 3, Xavier High School and took some classes at the Stella Adler studio of acting. During his teens years, Steven began to appear in magazine ads for L'uomo Vogue, Spoon, Pop,Details, and Hollister CO. He worked with world-renowned photographers: Bruce Weber, Herb Ritts, and Ellen Von Unwerth to name a few.

Bitten by the acting bug, Steven interest in acting grew at a young age, but not without a little nudge from his family. In the sixth grade, he started taking classes at the Village Community School. Stumbling in to it at first, Steven found passion for the craft. In 2004, he moved from New York City to California to pursue acting full-time.

After numerous auditions, Steven got his big break in 2005, his first movie debut in, "Sky High" he played a misunderstood teen superhero name Warren Peace. In addition, it was in that movie that Steven discovers his second passion, music. He sang the song "One thing leads to another" by the Fixx, for the movie soundtrack. His talent for singing didn't end there, a few years later he started singing with the band "Invidia", which means("envy" in Spanish), a death metal band from New York City. But unfortunately for him, the members remove him from the group when they convey, that Steven vocal style no longer blend well with the rest of the group. Steven next endeavor, he appeared in the romantic/comedy "Undiscovered" he played a singer/songwriter who has been toiling for years without a record deal, starring Ashlee Simpson. This movie gave the industry the chance to take notice of his talent. In 2006, he had landed the starring role in this horror/thriller the "Covenant" as Caleb Danver a warlock, who is an immediate descended of the Salem witch clan. After the leading role in the "Covenant", Steven next gig was in 2008, with an epic movie in the action/adventure "10,000 BC" about a prehistoric caveman hunter trying to find his true love who's been kidnapped and traded in to slavery, played by Camilla Belle. Steven next project, that same year was the war drama "Stop-Loss" in a cameo role as Michael Colson starring Ryan Phillippe. Now, Steven latest role in 2009, is the off beat comedy "City Island"as Tony Nardella and starring Andy Garcia.

Not wanting to divulge to much in Steven personal life, but this would not be a complete introduction if the main question on everyone mind, is not answer. Is Steven Strait single or married? Sorry everyone but the sexy 6'2 man is married to fellow actress Lynn Collins. They Started dating back in 2006. In 2008, after a short engagement they were married.

Steven Strait has shown diversity in his acting ability. He started as a young boy with big talents. Who has mature into a handsome man with passion to match. Steven Strait is one of Hollywood stars in the making.
