Here's What The Cast Of Step By Step Is Doing Now
Step By Step was a popular TGIF hit in the '90s. It had a similar premise to The Brady Bunch, as it told the story of the blending of two families. Patrick Duffy portrayed the patriarch, while Suzanne Somers played his wife. Each of them had three kids from previous marriages, and they all move in together when their parents get married.
The kids on the series were portrayed by Staci Keanan, Brandon Call, Angela Watson, Christine Lakin, Christopher Castile, and Josh Byrn. The cast was rounded out by Sasha Mitchell and Jason Marsden in the later seasons. Many of the stars of Step By Step have quit acting since the show went off the air in 1998. One of the actors had a near-death experience that made him decide to leave the spotlight for good. So, what happened to the cast of the show? Let's find out!
10 Staci Keanan Is A Lawyer
Staci Keanan decided she didn't want to act anymore and decided to go into law. She now works as a deputy district attorney in Los Angeles as well as an adjunct professor at Southwestern Law School. She got married to actor and producer Guy Birtwhistle in February 2017.
9 Christine Lakin Is A Director
Christine Lakin has recently stepped into directing. According to her interview on the Pod Meets World podcast, she has spent the last ten years or so choreographing for various productions over the years, as she was a dancer growing up. While Girl Meets World was on the air, Lakin shadowed Rider Strong and his brother while they directed episodes of the series. She has since gone on to direct episodes of The Goldbergs as well as High School Musical: The Musical: The Series.
8 Brandon Call Got Shot In The Late '90s
Brandon Call was involved in a shooting while driving one night in Los Angeles. He ended up driving himself to a police station, according to Christine Lakin's recount of the story on the Pod Meets World podcast and passed out on the steps. That near-death experience made Call realize he no longer wanted to be in the spotlight, and he quit acting as soon as Step By Step ended. According to rumors that have turned up in online forums, as reported by The Gazette Review, Call has been seen working in San Diego at his parent's car wash/gas station.
7 Angela Watson Was In An Abusive Relationship
Angela Watson was in an abusive relationship with her boyfriend for over two decades after Step By Step ended. Since finally freeing herself from the relationship, Watson has worked to re-establish connections with her former friends, cast members, and family that she had been estranged from while in the relationship. She is currently married in a healthy relationship and lives in Florida.
6 Christopher Castile Is A Teacher
Christopher Castile is currently working as an adjunct professor of political science at Biola University in La Mirada, California. He also teaches U.S. History at Downey High School in Los Angeles. He told The Downey Legend in 2012 that working as an actor was far more exhausting than being a teacher, and he didn't get much out of it. He claimed that working as a teacher was more fulfilling for him and that he loves to see his students and their smiling faces every day.
