Scottish-born actor, director, producer, and narrator, Steven Brand recently starred opposite Tobin Bell and Shawnee Smith in Saw X, the newest installment of the uber-popular horror franchise. As a director, he recently produced and directed the action, thriller feature film Joe Baby starring Dichen Lachman (Severance), Willa Fitzgerald (Reacher), Ron Perlman, and Harvey Keitel and will release this year.
Steven has narrated 200 books, all of which are available on Audible. He is very versatile and works in multiple genres: modern thrillers, drama, non-fiction, and most notably is the voice of a number of series of fantasy books, notably New York Times best seller Anthony Ryan’s Raven’s Shadow series, and his new series Age of Wrath, and Philip C Quaintrell’s nine-volume The Echoes Saga and his new series A Time of Dragons. He also works in contemporary fiction with authors such as Heather Critchlow’s compelling Scottish thriller series The Cal Lovett Files.
Currently on Netflix, Steven can be seen on both Vikings Valhalla in the recurring role of ‘Vitomir’ and as ‘Marsh Janowski’ in Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman story 24/7. Other notable past US and UK television credits include recurring roles on Teen Wolf (for which he earned a Saturn Award nomination), Mistresses, Samurai Girl, New Blood, Magic City, Alex Rider, Casualty, The Darling Buds of May, Psychos, Doctors, Hellsing, and Point Pleasant. Guest-starring roles include Hawaii 5-0, Castle, NCIS Los Angeles, CSI, CSI:Miami, Covert Affairs, 90210, and more.
Blockbuster movie fans both loved and feared Steven in The Scorpion King when he burst onto the US scene in his starring role as ‘Memnon’, the evil warlord and nemesis to ‘Mathayus’, played by Dwayne Johnson. He also starred opposite Steven Yeun and Samara Weaving in the film Mayhem, directed by Joe Lynch, and in the Netflix political thriller The Same Sky, directed by Oscar winner Oliver Hirschbiegel (Downfall).
At a young age, Steven and his family left Scotland and moved to East Africa, where they lived for nine years. A visit to a drive-in theater in Kenya was his introduction to films. After a brief career in publishing, he turned his sights to the performing arts. His first professional acting role saw him starring opposite Catherine Zeta-Jones in the enormously popular TV series The Darling Buds of May. He spent the next few years working in theater and television before moving to Los Angeles, where he currently resides. Keep watching for Steven Brand as he constantly proves himself to be a force to be reckoned with both in front of and behind the camera and the microphone.
