Steve Eastin (born June 22, 1948) is an American character actor. He
has appeared in nearly 150 television and film roles throughout his
decades long career. Steve is a descendant of the D'Estaing family of
France.Eastin was born in Colorado, where he began to study acting at
the young age of six at his local theater. He received his Actor
Equity card at age 16 when he performed in two musicals choreographed
by Micheal Bennet. Later, he attended the University of Northern
Colorado where he appeared in several productions at the Little
Theater of the Rockies, whose alumni include Nick Nolte.After college,
Eastin received a fellowship to teach at the University of Arizona
where he appeared in his first SAG role opposite Clint Eastwood in Joe
Kidd. It was shortly after this when Eastin moved to Los Angeles to
further pursue his acting career, enrolling in the Charles Conrad
Studio upon arrival in 1974.While attending Charles' class, Eastin
became interested in teaching acting as well. In 1991, he founded his
own acting school, The Steve Eastin Studio. The studio believes in
what Eastin refers to as "Choiceless awareness", where the actors do
not read into the script, nor prepare their "beats" or think about
what or how they may read their lines. Instead, the actors are
encouraged to be in the moment and let their natural, emotional power
take over and thus tap into the vast collective unconscious all humans
are capable of attuning themselves to.
