Born in San Antonio, Texas, Steve Howey lived on a boat during his early childhood, sailing up and down the Pacific Coast with his Navy veteran dad and mom. By his early teens they had settled in Los Angeles before moving on to Denver just before his senior year. Earning a basketball scholarship to junior college in Colorado, he played two seasons before switching to drama and pursuing an acting career. He debuted in the 1998 film Class, and the following year made a guest appearance in a 1999 episode of Pacific Blue.
