It's been 25 years since the popular Disney Channel sitcom "Even Stevens" premiered on June 17, 2000. The show may have only aired for three seasons, but it made a lasting impact on fans thanks to its quirky sense of humor. In honor of the show's anniversary, let's take a look at what the cast has been doing since the show ended.
Shia LaBeouf as Louis Anthony Stevens
LaBeouf was only 14 when he landed his breakout role as prankster Louis Anthony Stevens. The Los Angeles native still looks back on the role fondly. "It's all of our childhood," the Fury actor told New Hive, per USA Today. "It's mine and it's yours. It wasn't just me smiling like that. If you look at the freeze frames, everyone is smiling."
After Even Stevens ended, LaBeouf made his way to the big screen and starred in hit films like Holes, Disturbia, Transformers, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, and Eagle Eye. He debuted his screenwriting talents in the 2019 autobiographical film Honey Boy.
In 2022, LaBeouf welcomed a daughter with his ex-wife Mia Goth. The Megalopolis star has been embroiled in a number of controversies over the years, including a lawsuit from his ex-girlfriend FKA Twigs, who accused him of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse. LaBeouf has also been open about his sobriety journey. Read more about SZA's journey here.
Christy Carlson Romano as Ren Stevens
Like many of the young stars on Even Stevens, Romano's role as Louis' perfectionist older sister launched her acting career. Though she maintained a close relationship on-screen with her fictional sibling, she has said that she and LaBeouf were not as tight as they appeared.
After Even Stevens, Romano went on to star in another Disney Channel classic as the voice of Kim Possible, leading the animated series from 2002 to 2007. The actress shifted to audio entertainment in 2022 with her debut podcast, Vulnerable. In 2023, she created the Even More Stevens Podcast with Spano and Steven Anthony Lawrence. That year, she launched a podcast company with her husband, Brendan Rooney.
Nick Spano as Donnie Stevens
Spano landed his breakout role as the eldest child on Even Stevens. During the 20th anniversary reunion, Spano expressed his gratitude for starring on the comedy.
Though the former child star continued to act after the Disney Channel show wrapped, Spano eventually left the spotlight. In 2024, he opened up Re/Creation, a cafe and community space in L.A.
Tom Virtue as Steve Stevens
Virtue enjoyed a storied career before playing the morally driven patriarch of the Stevens family.
After Even Stevens, he continued to act and landed a recurring role on the teen drama The Secret Life of the American Teenager, playing Reverend Stone from 2008 to 2013. He's also appeared in films like Green Book and Iron Man 3.
Donna Pescow as Eileen Stevens
Pescow became a breakout star in the 1970s after she acted alongside John Travolta in the hit film Saturday Night Fever. She went on to star in shows like Angie and Out of This World before landing her role as the no-nonsense matriarch of the Stevens family in 2000.
Though the on-screen family she cared for was fictional, she told Scene Creek in 2017 that it felt as real as any other. "People always say, 'we were a family' when talking about TV shows. But in a funny way, we were a family," she said. "Watching [LaBeouf] and Christy mature as time went on and start to become really good actors was really quite wonderful."
Pescow continued to act after Even Stevens wrapped, landing guest roles on shows like Grey's Anatomy and New Girl. Read about Rebel Wilson's accident here.
Steven Anthony Lawrence as Bernard "Beans" Aranguren
Lawrence joined the Even Stevens cast as the family's pesky neighbor when he was only 9 years old. The young star already had credits on shows like Sabrina the Teenage Witch and That's So Raven.
In addition to occasional on-screen work, Lawrence co-hosted the Even More Stevens Podcast with Romano and Spano.
A.J. Trauth as Alan Twitty
Trauth landed his breakout role as Louis' best friend and prank partner, Twitty, in 2000.
After Even Stevens, he continued to guest-star on shows like House and Kim Possible. Trauth then shifted into the production side of Hollywood and started developing shows for kids. In 2024, he served as the executive producer for the Hulu series Davey & Jonesie's Locker.
Margo Harshman as Tawny Dean
Harshman played Louis' best friend (and secret crush) Tawny Dean. She described the show as "an indescribable and irreplaceable" part of her life in a 2011 interview with Media Mikes.
In addition to Even Stevens, the actress is known for playing Sylvia in the 2009 cheer movie Fired Up! and Brooke in the 2008 teen romance Keith. Harshman has also played Delilah Fielding on the hit crime series NCIS since 2013. Read about Paige Desorbo's exit from Love Island USA here.
