Have You Ever Wondered?

And I know you want to know: What happened to the cast of Step By Step? I intend to find out….

For those of you who don’t remember, Step By Step was a Brady Bunch-esque show about contractor Frank Lambert, single father to 3 kids, who gets married to Beautician Carol Foster, a single mother to 3 kids of her own. The kids all hate each other, but they have to learn to get along, step by step… Day by day…

Patrick Duffy played Frank Lambert, the swarthy construction worker with a penchant for Suzanne Somers. He hasn’t done much lately, other than a few “Hey, I was on Dallas, remember me?” appearances every now and then.

Suzanne Somers played mother Carol. She doesn’t do much anymore, but for some reason she keeps popping up on various talk shows, according to IMDB. She still hates Joyce DeWitt. She no longer sells exercise tapes, to my knowledge.

Brandon Call portrayed Frank’s son J.T., who I personally thought was kind of a douchebag. He was the scheming smooth-talker type that never quite seemed to get it together. He hasn’t acted since Step By Step. Instead, according to facts gathered from the internet, he runs a couple of businesses, drives a green ‘96 Honda Civic, and was shot in both arms during a robbery in 1996. But he’s better now.

Frank’s daughter Al was played by Alicia Lambert. Al was the tomboy, and played baseball. I remember her often wearing a green baseball shirt, possibly with a yellow hat. She’s really hot now. She still works, althought gazing at her filmography, she only does shitty movies that are possibly ‘erotic thrillers’ and direct-to-video comedies. She is apparently very popular in Italy.

Josh Byrne played the youngest brother, Brendan. I have absolutely no recollection of this character, apparently because he was written out. How you write a child out of a family, I have no idea. He hasn’t acted since. Rumour is he is a bouncer at a crappy karoake bar in Burbank, possibly saying “Don’t you know who I was, man? I was fucking Brendan Lambert! From Step by Step? You’re out of here!”

Staci Keanan played the daughter who I thought was hottest, and I forget her name right now. She was the smart one that was always sarcastic, and sometimes a bitch. She doesn’t do much any more either. Oh yea, she was the little girl on My Two Dads, too. That show that isn’t as gay as it sounds, but may as well be. After all, it was Paul Reiser and Greg Evigan living together. She has a fan page.

Angela Watson was Karen on the show. She was the stupid vain daughter. She’s appeared in one show since Step By Step, apparently a children’s program. Apparently she’s naked somewhere on the internet, but an exhaustive search yielded no results.

Christopher Castile played Mark, the nerdy, slightly effete son of Carol. He was on Hey Arnold, which was a kinda awesome cartoon, I guess. You can find a review of his autobiography, “Being You Is Most Definitely Cool”, here. Apparently, he regularly attends asthma conferences in Aspen.

Finally, Sasha Mitchell was the “cool uncle” of the show, Cody. Aside from having a girly name, he was kicked from the show, mostly because he drank, was a drug addict, and hit his wife. Amazingly, he’s managed to pop up in the occasional movie or tv show, so good on him, I guess. Also, if you go to Charlie’s Cafe in the L.A. Farmer’s Market, he makes awesome eggs and hash. ‘Cuz that’s where he’s presently working, as a short order cook. No word on whether or not he’s “researching a role”.

And that’s it. I hoped you enjoyed. And if you’re a d-list celebrity googling your own name, and you happened upon this page, go ahead and leave a comment to keep us updated.

I can’t believe I wasted a whole afternoon researching this.
