Steve Howey is the son of director Bill Howey. Together with his parents Howey lived the first years of life on a houseboat until the family settled in Los Angeles. Here he graduated from compulsory education.
As a young man, he worked as a waiter in a restaurant in Littleton, Colorado. Although he received a scholarship for the university thanks to his good basketball game, he decided to try as an actor.
If it was up to Steve, he would probably choose basketball over acting, but because he was under the influence of his father, he made the decision to go into acting. His first acting job was in the popular series ER and this appearance occurred in 1994. He was a guest star in this show and this was the first moment that critics noticed this young actor.
After his debut, shows such as X-Files and Drew Carey Show followed which only made him love the acting and he decided to pursue this career definitely.

We cannot mention Steve Howey without mentioning the show Shameless. This role is probably the role that made him as famous as he is now, because this big break of his came in the year 2011. Steve got the role of Kevin Ball where he brilliantly showed his talent.
