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 -- the biggest part ever given a Canadian on the show at that time. Multiple episodes of Street Justice, M.A.N.T.I.S., The Commish, Highlander, Viper and The Marshall followed, along with important parts on Outer Limits, The X-Files and Millennium, and a recurring role on the short-lived but critically lauded Profit. But it's in longer-form efforts such as Tailhook, Stakeout II and the upcoming Hardball (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 Stakeout II and realized that he was alone with Rosie O'Donnell, Richard Dreyfuss, Emilio Estevez, the director (John Badham), the writer, and the producer. "I looked around the room and thought that something didn't fit and that 'something' was me!" laughs Bacic. It is this kind of zest that has kept Steve Bacic honing his acting skills, marrying physical precision with emotional instincts. "Let's face it, I've been in roles where brawn was more important than brains in the casting decision. That's when it's really nice to hear the director say, 'Wow, he can act too!' " |
