Steve Bacic
- Actor
- Producer
- Director
A leading man who is just as comfortable playing scary villains or
comic sidekicks, Steve Bacic has gone from strength to strength
culminating into a half-decade of non-stop work. Shortly after he moved
from his home town of Windsor, Ontario to Vancouver, British Columbia,
he landed a guest-starring role on the TV series
21 Jump Street (1987) -- the
biggest part ever given a Canadian on the show at that time. Multiple
episodes of
Street Justice (1991),
M.A.N.T.I.S. (1994),
The Commish (1991),
Highlander (1992),
Viper (1994) and
The Marshal (1995) followed,
along with important parts on
The Outer Limits (1995),
The X-Files (1993),
Millennium (1996),
Andromeda (2000) and a recurring
role on the short-lived but critically lauded
Profit (1996). But it's in longer-form
efforts such as
She Stood Alone: The Tailhook Scandal (1995),
Another Stakeout (1993) and
Hardball (1997) (a.k.a. Bounty
Hunters II) that Bacic has really been able to spread his wings.
Admittedly an "instinct" player, he has been happy to learn the ropes
from international stars like
Gerald McRaney,
Rosie O'Donnell and veteran
Tony Curtis. Bacic regards one of
his most unique professional experiences to-date as being the time he
looked around the room while filming
Another Stakeout (1993) and
realized that he was alone with
Rosie O'Donnell,
Richard Dreyfuss,
Emilio Estevez, the director
(John Badham), the writer, and the producer.
