Always the “good guy” and as handsome as can be! <3!
Everybody’s a critic!? Numbers 44 and 45 in the filmography are actually for the same acting project: Steve played the character Godwin, on an episode of Cadfael entitled “A Morbid Taste for Bones.” I know because I bought the DVD! Just sayin’….do we also want to mention that Steve and Anna are now married?
yep we need to update all the bios! volunteers are welcome! ;)
what a shock ending season 3 true blood, never ever guessed Bill would have done what he did to Sookie as told by Eric, all for the quuen
I recently downloaded “Deadlines” and it is really good. Stephen is the lead, and he does an amazing job, and is so hot doing it. We even get a “bum” shot. So cute! This is a talented actor and a genuinely wonderful man.
have read up to book 4 of the True Blood series and imho Bill is -really- turning out to be not quite so endearing as a love interest for Sookie. I’d prefer her with E*** or A*** who treat her better…
Oh Eric is the best choice in the books, im hoping he will be in the show too but its to soon to tell
