Steve Carlson has been a working actor for thirty-eight years. In his varied career he has been a regular on the three TV series; 'General Hospital' (ABC), 'The Young & the Restless' (CBS) and 'A New Day in Eden' (Showtime). He has appeared in scores of others, has provided hundreds of hours of television and starred or co-starred in ten feature films.

Over the years Steve has become one of the most successful commercial actors in the country, having filmed or supplied the voice for over 600 TV and radio commercials, industrial films and narration.

Steve has also been a writer in Hollywood for nearly twenty years. The blending of his acting and writing skills make for clear, concise, informative and immensely pleasurable books on the inside and practical side of film acting. (see resume')

Steve retired from acting in 2001 and moved with his wife, Mary Ann, to So. Oregon. His time now is divided between caring for their 2 ½ acres of forest, playing golf and writing… and, of course, doing the odd film or commercial that may come along.

His first novel, ALMOST GRACELAND, was published by St. Martins Press, released in November, 2007. His second novel, FINAL EXPOSURE, also published by St. Martins Press (see Published Writing), release date Oct. 2008, is about what could happen by being in the wrong place at the wrong time with a camera. Since more ideas are coming all the time, it will be interesting to see where it all goes from here. Stay tuned.

FINAL EXPOSURE

Photography can be restful and beautiful. It can also be lethal if you take the wrong picture.

ALMOST GRACELAND

Ray Johnston was an unemployed construction worker, whose only real claim-to-fame was that hardly a day went by without someone telling him how much he looked like Elvis. He got pretty tired of it.
