Steve Guttenberg (Steve/ Playwright) In 1976, Steve Guttenberg was on a plane to Hollywood. His mother and father gave him 300.00 for a two week trip to try his hand at film acting. He was 17 years old . He had performed Children’s Theatre, an off broadway play and studied at various schools. He landed and immediately started trying to sneak into studios. He found his way into Paramount Studios, commandeered an office in the Lucille Ball Makeup Building, strung a phone from the water stage , and started making phone calls to casting directors, agents and producers. He landed a Kentucky Fried Chicken commercial and was off to the races. He earned a place in an agency and then Steve was cast in the acclaimed television movie Something for Joey, the cult classic The Chicken Chronicles, and the Universal film Rollercoaster and did numerous commercials. After a year in Hollywood, he decided the culture was not for him, went to Albany State University at the request of his Father, Stanley, and proceeded to have an experience as a college student. Hollywood called three months into his semester with an offer to costar with Gregory Peck in The Boys from Brazil. Steve flew to Portugal and didn’t look back. He was cast in some of the most popular films the industry released. Diner, Police Academy, Cocoon, Three Men and a Baby, Short Circuit and The Bedroom Window to name a few. His films have grossed over a billion dollars. Steve went on to act on Broadway in Prelude to a Kiss, John Turturro’s Relatively Speaking, The Boys Next Door in London’s West End, and in Woody Harrelson’s Furthest from the Sun in Minneapolis. Television- wise Steve starred in the one of the highest rated television events, The Day After, Billy Liar, Veronica Mars, Ballers, the sci fi hit Lavalantula, and most recently How to Murder Your Husband with Cybill Shepherd. Steve is known as a generous and thoughtful person, creating The Guttenberg House in Los Angeles for emancipated foster children. He is married to his beautiful and accomplished wife Emily Smith , they live in Pacific Palisades , California. Steve doesn’t forget where he comes from. He appreciates his life and the career G-d and his parents gave him in show business.
