Even Stevens: Whatever Happened To The Cast?

The main star of the series was Louis Stevens, a troublemaking preteen who can be seen as the black sheep of the Stevens family. Always scheming and looking for the easy way out, Louis' rivalry with his sister Ren was the center of most of the series' episodes. Louis was brought to life by Shia LaBeouf, and served as a springboard for an even bigger career in the future.

Since the series' end, LaBeouf jumped headfirst into film and landed several leading and supporting roles. His biggest role came in 2007 when he became the star of the first three films in Michael Bay's "Transformers" franchise. Some of LaBeouf's other big films include the serial killer movie "Disturbia," the financial drama "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps" and the polarizing "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull." His most recent works include the Amazon Studios film "Honey Boy" and the Oscar nominated "Pieces of a Woman."

Despite several successful films, LaBeouf's personal life has been marred by several controversy and erratic behavior. Some of these include problems with alcoholism, lawsuits against him for battery and abuse, and accusations of plagiarism.

Louis and Ren also had an older brother named Donny, an athletic but unintelligent high schooler who was usually the star of each episode's B-plot. Donny was portrayed by actor Nick Spano, who acted in prominent roles in the late '90s before "Even Stevens." These roles included turns on "Sister, Sister," "7^th Heaven," "Melrose Place," and "The Young and the Restless."

Compared to the rest of the actors in the Stevens family, Spano's filmography post-"Stevens" is fairly light. He secured several guest spots on popular dramas like "Alias" and "Without A Trace," but there is a serious gap in his acting credits after 2011. That's because Spano has been focusing on other projects outside of Hollywood. He was briefly an acting coach and was the manager of the Hollywood Night Market in Los Angeles. 

With other business ventures in play for the future, it doesn't look like Spano will return to acting anytime soon. If not, his fans will always have Donny to fondly look back on.

Veteran actor Tom Virtue played Steve Stevens, Ren and Louis' father. Like many family sitcom dads, Steve was a goofy character who always tried his best to be hip with the kids while also guiding them through life. Similar to Donna Pescow, Virtue has been acting since the early '80s, with a filmography prior to "Even Stevens" including popular shows such as "Roseanne," "L.A. Law," and "Star Trek: Voyager."

Once "Even Stevens" ended, Virtue continued acting in small roles for various films and television shows. These include children-targeted sitcoms like "That's So Raven" and "Drake and Josh," crime dramas like "Cold Case" and "CSI," and high-profile films like "Green Book" and "Transformers: Dark of the Moon." Virtue's most recent credits include guest spots on shows like "Good Girls" and "This Is Us," and a brief role in "Resident Evil Village" as one of the villagers who gets killed in the early parts of the game.

Louis' other best friend was Tawny Dean, an introverted preteen who eventually became Louis' girlfriend. Margo Harshman played Tawny for over 40 episodes, as well as "The Even Stevens Movie." Her performance as Tawny even nabbed her two Young Artist Awards nominations. At the end of her run as Tawny, she landed a starring role in The WB sitcom "Run of the House," but that show was cancelled after its first season.

Since then, Harshman has had plenty of work over the years thanks to several small roles in sitcoms and dramas. Her filmography includes appearances in shows like "Grey's Anatomy," "Modern Family," Without A Trace," and "Boston Legal." She also has a handful of film credits that include "Fired Up!," "College Road Trip," and "Sorority Row." Her biggest roles of the 2010s include a starring role in all six episodes of the short-lived NBC comedy "Bent," a guest role as Sheldon Cooper's assistant Alex Jensen on "The Big Bang Theory," and a recurring role as Delilah Fielding on "NCIS."

There's always that one annoying neighbor in a sitcom that just won't leave our main characters alone. On "Even Stevens," that neighbor was Beans. He spent more time with the Stevens than with his own family, but he eventually became Louis' right-hand man in several episodes. Steven Anthony Lawrence brought Beans to life. But before that, Lawrence already had several acting credits on shows like "The Amanda Show" and "Sabrina, the Teenage Witch."

The mid-2000s were particularly kind to Lawrence. In addition to "Even Stevens," Lawrence had guest spots on shows like "Frasier" and "That's So Raven," and movies like "The Cat in the Hat" and "Cheaper By The Dozen." However, Lawrence's presence on the screen faded in the 2010s. But that doesn't mean that Lawrence hasn't been busy. Recently, he spoke with VICE about what he's been up to since his days at Beans, which include taking care of his sick father.

You can find him on his own YouTube channel "The Rice and Beans Show," as well as a guest appearance on Christy Carlson Romano's channel.

Ren and Louis may not agree on much of anything, but they do share one thing in common: their dislike of Larry Beale. Portrayed by Ty Hodges, Larry was an annoying eight grader who constantly schemed to make Ren look because he was jealous of her success, even going after Louis to accomplish this. Hodges only appeared in 13 episodes as Larry, but his character proved to be a great foil for both Louis and Ren.

Hodges had already been on Disney Channel before "Even Stevens," appearing in one episode of "The Famous Jett Jackson" and in the Disney Channel Original Movie "Don't Look Under The Bed." As Hodges has aged, he has become more well-known as a film director, with several indie films on his resume. His first directorial effort was the 2006 film "Miles From Home," which co-starred Meagan Good. His latest film, "Venus As A Boy," premiered last June at the Tribeca Film Festival.
