Born Stephen Lamer Legate, Steve prefers to be called "Steve," because polysyllabic words confuse him. At a relatively young age, he discovered that the more often he lied, and the more intricate and realistic his lies, the more people were impressed with him (at least in the short term.) Thus was an actor born. Most recently, he's fooled audiences into thinking he was an 80-year-old prophet, Samuel (in Imago Dei's production of 'King Saul'),a middle-aged homosexual philosopher, Humphry (Paula Productions' The Common Pursuit), and a young, schizophrenic Django Reinhardt fan, Bill (Paula Productions' Sure Thing). Steve is hopping-on-one-leg excited to be involved with El Cucui and the very talented group of people bringing it to the stage.. And that's no lie.
