Born in a small town in Missouri, Stephan came to Los Angeles, California in January 2005 to work with his manager and prepare for working in Hollywood. He went to his first audition not knowing what to expect; and was called back to meet with Brian Singer for the role of young Clark Kent in Superman Returns. Stephan loved working on the film, it was demanding physically and he got to work with some of the best people in Hollywood. He has 2 sisters one older and one younger who help keep him grounded. Stephan graduates high school in 2007 and plans to attend college with engineering as a possible major. He loves acting and hopes to continue in this field, but wants to be prepared for tough times. As a matter of fact he actually apprenticed as a plumber in his home town to earn money during the summer. He said it was a pretty "crappy" job at times. Currently he takes classes for acting and enjoys being busy.
