Nick Stevenson

What most people don't know is Stevenson is in close relation to Robert Stevenson, the famous Hollywood director of such Disney classics as "Mary Poppins", "Bedknobs And Broomsticks", "The Love Bug", and many more. Stevenson is an incredibly versatile actor who bounces seamlessly from comedy to drama. When it comes to acting, Stevenson has had a crack at all disciplines and left a mark - a rather exciting intense, unwavering, subtle, vulnerable, and sometimes in-your-face indelible impression. Stevenson can be seen most recently in The Long Road Home for NatGeo, The Son as Fred Bernhauer for AMC, and Netflix's stand-out hit, "Orange Is the New Black" as Pete Harper. The series is written and produced by Jenji Kohan ("Weeds"). He has guest-starred and appeared opposite the likes of Pierce Brosnan, Jerry Seinfeld, Kathleen Chalfant, Jason Biggs, Michael Kelly, and Jim Caviezel among many others. He continues to embrace his old theater roots around the globe and will be planting his feet again in Austin, making his Zach Theater debut as Ed in "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time" with previews beginning at the end of January 2018. Stevenson's voice can be heard at any time on many famous ad campaigns such as Gillette, Miller Light, Energizer Batteries, British Airways, The Sydney Morning Herald, Louis Vuitton, McDonald's, and for The Weinstein Company, among others. In between gigs, Stevenson paints, writes, and frames his own photography, often hosting an exhibition here or there. As a writer, Stevenson's ideas never cease. He has three other completed screenplays, one of which he plans to shoot in Louisiana in 2018. He also plans on shooting at least one of his other features in Texas in 2017/18, along with a teleplay and a violent TV pilot titled "The Bradman's", for which he is seeking funding. Stevenson graduated from The Atlantic Theater Company's Conservative Acting School in 2002. Since then, he has performed in many productions all around the country and upstate (in his summer stock days). In 2006, Nick co-founded The Outhouse Theatre Company, dedicated to the cultivation and development of both emerging and established Australian theater artists. Some of his favorite theater credits include The Boys, Mercy Thieves, Balm in Gilead, Careless Love, He Died with a Falafel in His Hand, Bed, and How The Other Half Loves by Alan Ayckbourn, to name a few. In 2007, for his love of theater, Stevenson traveled to Greece with the One Year Lease Troupe and performed in "Widows" and "Reader" by Ariel Dorfman. "Reader" was also performed at The New York Fringe Festival and received high praise from critics. Stevenson lives in Austin, Texas, and has two kids.
