Steve Marvel (PROFESSOR) Steve Marvel has recently returned to his native Midwest after a two-decade career in Los Angeles, where his film roles included turns opposite Michael Shannon in Shriver and both
Harry Lennix and Robert Patrick in Troubled Watters, and where he starred in the cult favorite
Chompy and the Girls. On stage, he played Tom Sargeant in the West Coast premiere of David
Hare’s Skylight (Chance Theater, Annaheim); the director, Al Manners in Alice Childress’
Trouble in Mind (directed by Harry Lennix); and he made up part of the original cast of The
Gospel According to Thomas Jefferson, Charles Dickens and Count Leo Tolstoy: Discord at the
Geffen Playhouse. An accomplished audiobook narrator, Steve’s voicings have earned four
Voice Arts Award Finalist nominations and a coveted Audiofile Magazine Earphones Award for
his rendition of Turgenev’s classic A Sportsman’s Notebook. LIFE SUCKS also marks a homecoming in other ways for Steve. Kent State’s Porthouse Theatre awarded him his first role in area theatre, choosing him to play Scopes in its 1992 production of Inherit the Wind. And in that same production, he had the great fortune to meet his future wife, Angeline. They currently live outside the city with two demanding mutts.
