Stephen James Sandvoss came to our attention many weeks ago as our inaugural Name The Hottie. His popularity via Name The Hottie won him a nomination as Spunk Of The Month, October '07 and he attracted a quiet buzz there before blitzing the field to win the title with almost half the public vote.

Steve grew up in the suburbs of New York City, attending the Saint Thomas Choir School in Manhattan and The Taft School in Connecticut where he was a member of the rowing team (that's hot). He went on to study at Harvard University where he was active in the artistic community, pursuing amateur photography, studying poetry and American prose, and often choosing edgier roles in student-written plays. He directed readings of his own work at Harvard and wrote criticism and essays for several undergraduate periodicals. Steve was also a member of the Harvard Opportunes, a prestigious a cappella ensemble.

While at Harvard he commuted back and forth from New York City to pursue professional acting and modeling. He graduated from Harvard with the distinction cum laude.

Steve's break as an actor came when he landed the role of a football star competing against Will Estes in the NBC drama series American Dreams. His other television roles include appearances on Dr. Vegas, Nip/Tuck, The Inside, Cold Case, E-Ring and Grey's Anatomy.

He made his feature-film debut in the 2003 independent film Latter Days. His second feature film was 2005's Rumor Has It, starring Jennifer Aniston, Kevin Costner, Mark Ruffalo and Shirley MacLaine.

In May 2007, Steve took on the role as Mason Finch in the indie film "Lie To Me", filmed on location in Kansas City, MO. to be released in 2008. The bottom two pics are stills from this film.

Steve currently resides in Los Angeles where he and his older brother Peter Sandvoss operate "Beep Box Productions" and manage a strategic partnership with Hyperion Pictures.
