Actor

The Resume

    (July 12, 1977- )
    Born in San Antonio, Texas
    Birth name is Steve Michael Robert Howey
    Son of director Bill Howey, and husband to actress Sarah Shahi
    Acted in 'Supercross,' 'DOA: Dead or Alive,' 'Bride Wars,' 'Something Borrowed,' 'Losing Control,' 'Conception,' 'In Your Eyes,' and 'See You in Valhalla'
    Best known as Reba McEntire's buffoonish son-in-law, Van Montgomery, on Reba (2001-07)
    Also known as Kevin Ball on Showtime's 'Shameless' (2011-15) and for a recurring role on Sons of Anarchy (2013)

Why he might be annoying:

    His nickname is Vodka.
    He lives in his wife's shadow.
    His career may have been predicated on nepotism (his father directed him in his early screen roles).
    He allegedly shares a pocketbook with his wife.
    His name sounds like that of a black stand-up comic turned daytime talk/game show host.
    He came under fire for a 2014 tweet (which he later deleted) comparing President Obama to the Ebola virus.
    He earned a basketball scholarship to a junior college in Colorado, but lost interest in his second year, turning to drama instead.
    His portrayal of the dimwitted jock 'baby daddy,' Van, resulted in his being typecast in similar 'himbo' roles.
    He disappointed his legion of stans by growing his hair long and adopting scraggly facial hair for his part on 'Shameless.'
    A video of his wife openly flirting with Mario Lopez during an Entertainment Tonight interview went viral, as did his visibly annoyed reaction where he basically stared down Lopez.
    He named two of his kids Knox Blue and Violet Moon.

Why he might not be annoying:

    His skills at physical comedy were reminiscent of a young Jim Carrey.
    He spent his early childhood years living on boats with his parents.
    He and his father filmed an independent project called, 'Class,' which was accepted into the Denver Film Festival (1998).
    He had excellent chemistry with both Reba McEntire and his 'TV wife,' JoAnna Garcia.
    He and Garcia developed such a fan following that there were plans for a 'Van and Cheyenne' spinoff show (they were scuttled for some reason).
    He made a cameo in Reba McEntire's music video 'Every Other Weekend,' again with JoAnna Garcia.
    His Reba co-stars described him and Melissa Peterman as the most fun during rehearsals and cold readings.
    He comes off as shy and unassuming in interviews.
    He's cutting it close to being typecast as Kate Hudson's love interest (as of 2015 twice - lucky!)
