Early life

Born in 1980, Stephen James Sandvoss grew up in the suburbs of New York City and attended the Saint Thomas Choir School in Manhattan and The Taft School ('98) in Connecticut before studying at Harvard University. (Class of 2002)

At Harvard, he was active in the artistic community, pursuing amateur photography, studying poetry and American prose, and often choosing edgier roles in student-written plays as well as in such classics as Shakespeare (Romeo & Juliet, Julius Caesar) and Bertolt Brecht (Galileo, Ba'al).

In addition, he directed readings of his own work at Harvard and wrote criticism and essays for several undergraduate periodicals. Steve was also a member of the Harvard Opportunes, a prestigious a cappella ensemble.

While at Harvard he commuted back and forth from New York City to pursue professional acting and modeling. He graduated from Harvard with the distinction Cum Laude.
