XANDERSTEEL

As the youngest, Xander was described as being "very outgoing." His two main interests growing up were sports and animals. Though undersized, he was athletically gifted as a soccer player and dreamed of someday playing for the USA National Team.   He was also instilled with Christianity at a very young age, attending church with his family.

During his Freshman year in  High School,  he suffered a severe leg injury that put an end to Xanders soccer career and his dreams of playing for the USA.  Shortly after this, he turned his focus toward re-building his leg and discovered bodybuilding.  He learned everything he could about the discipline of nutrition and strength training.  

Working as a Cement Mason in the family business, Xander tired of working construction, and became a Personal Trainer to share his knowledge and help others.  He moved to Los Angeles and established a personal training business in Manhattan Beach, CA.  Many of his clients worked in the tv/film industry at Manhattan Beach Studios.  Deren Sarafian, an established Director, hired Xander as his personal trainer and later cast him as an extra in several CSI MIAMI episodes.  Xander read lines with  DAVID CARUSO, and received positive feedback.  These experiences and many others, have  fueled Xanders desire to develop as a tv/flim actor.  

Xander is gaining additional experience, currently  working on several  independent film projects, music videos and short stories.   He continues to study and train in the arts and recently won the lead in the movie THE NARROW ROAD directed by Shawn Justice.   Also, he was recently cast opposite TINA FEY in a commercial created for American Express.

His range is remarkably versatile and welcomes the opportunity to help tell a story.
