By the time he graduated high school, Steve Howey and his family had gravitated to Denver, Colorado. As Howey told CBS' Watch!, he "had been playing basketball since [he] was a freshman," which led his father to push him toward landing an athletic scholarship that would pay for college. 

"I was into it, and I did get a scholarship to a junior college," Howey said, but eventually came to realize that his skills were nowhere near the same level as the basketball "demigods" who were his teammates. In fact, the harder he worked, the more he knew that basketball was not where his future lay. "I tried to shove a thousand shots every day with weights, went running, all that stuff," he recalled. "But I was like, 'I'm done. Maybe I'll be an actor.'"

As Howey's Showtime bio explained, when he made that decision, he knew exactly where to turn: his father, Bill Howey, a professional acting instructor whose students have included George Clooney and "New Girl" star Max Greenfield. "Going to my dad's acting classes definitely helped," Howey told CBS' Watch!. "The closest thing to theater is acting class."
