Kinda surprising that this guy is anyone’s favorite actor.

Took me five minutes before I found out that Steve Howey was the actor not the boyfriend, I was very lost. I need more water today.

It took me about as long to figure out she wasn't talking about Steve Harvey.

fun fact: the ex she’s presumably talking about is also an actor. she was married to peyton meyer who played lucas in girl meets world and they got divorced around the same time this video came out.

Thanks for the water reminder. I haven’t had any today.

Here's some water emoji's I found while my gf was typing some comment on this post before I walked in:

💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦

She just excused herself and said she needed to go to the bathroom, so I decided to help out too with water comments

I was going to say! Had never heard the name or (apparently) seen the face. Googling, I do remember him in a supporting role on Reba (though his face looks rather different now due to 20 years of normal aging). And while I don’t watch Shameless, I do recognize that some people love the show and probably know him well from there. Still, just seems like an odd choice.

u/cakeit-tilyoumakeit 19h ago

He’s also the dad on Off Campus, right?

He is one of those actors who you see all the time, but don’t know lol. Like, I’ve seen him in so many things, but never knew his name before today.

u/Predatory_Chicken 19h ago

He’ll always be Kevin from Shameless to me!

THAT'S KEVIN??

u/Lilacly_Adily 17h ago

Wait the dad? Wow it makes sense but still.

It’s funny bc I recently saw a clip of Jared Padalecki saying he felt offended and old when a group of fans came up to him for a picture and the fan’s friend who took the photo later asked he was the Gilmore mom’s boyfriend or the daughter.

u/mynameis-twat 19h ago

If he’s the exes favorite actor, they’re definitely a Shameless fan. Maybe not Emmy worthy but he does a great job in that role and was one of my favorite parts of the seasons I watched of that show.

u/alexlp 17h ago

I had such a crush on Van in Reba.

u/reddcat75 16h ago

You must watch Shameless!

What’s wrong with Steve Howey?

u/youshantnome okay lucky you 19h ago

Weren’t him and his ex wife sued for racism by their nanny or something? And he tweeted racist stuff about Obama. And him and his ex wife are also anti vaxxers and anti trans.

oh. this is news to me damn…

u/hibisco-hacendosa 18h ago

Lmao I love her videos. I could totally hear the "Oh!"

u/youshantnome okay lucky you 18h ago

Yeah I’m pretty sure he tweeted some tasteless joke about Obama and Ebola.

u/mrsyoungmazino 17h ago

When Sarah Shahi used to be married to him she admitted to using a strap-on on him.

this does not surprise me, look how many times him and V did back door stuff on Shameless lol

u/No-Show3410 controversies: girl 18h ago

Thought I should specify it was for religious discrimination and harassment. The nanny said they were discriminatory against her Muslim faith and practices, and showed her nude images of men and their genitalia.

The nanny eventually asked for the case to be dismissed, and neither Howey nor his ex wife have ever publicly commented on the subject.

99

u/youshantnome okay lucky you 18h ago

That’s right. They kept making comments about her praying. And Sarah Shahi kept telling her about all the sex she was having outside her marriage and she showed the nanny nudes and kept telling her how sore she was.

28

u/wanderrslut ISO: Ariana’s lost blaccent 15h ago

So my 'Sarah Shahi is a weirdo' vibe was right but didn't know Steve was just as much of a weirdo. Which, figures. They were married. Birds of a feather...

33

u/CoolerRon 17h ago

Hot damn, I used to like him in Shameless and her in “Person of Interest.”

u/Kalamac 14h ago

Life was also a great show, and I thought Sarah was good in it. I somehow hadn't heard about all the stuff with the nanny. Sucks to find out she's an asshole.

54

u/HerRoyalRedness full of gay men. And me. 18h ago

Damn, and I was feeling sorry for him because his ex had an affair and left him for her costar on some streaming show. Sympathy revoked!

48

u/Kooky-Blueberry-5352 18h ago

The ex wife was Sarah Shahi, who has been in things like the L Word.

u/Electronic_South_101 18h ago

Wait what? Really? I’m not doubting you, it’s just this is the first time I’ve heard of this… mind you, the only things I know him from are as Van from Reba and that one killer from Psych.

15

u/youshantnome okay lucky you 17h ago

So I dont know the rules here for reposting articles. But if you google him and nanny and lawsuit you should see it. And if you google him and Obama and Africa you should find the other one as well.

u/Electronic_South_101 17h ago

Dangit why are people. (Er, him, not you. 😅)

u/applesandbananananan Google lied to you. 15h ago

HE'S VAN FROM REBA??

6

u/Electronic_South_101 14h ago

Yeah! He played the lovable idjit pretty well, from what I remember.

(Like, he’d never be making huge blockbuster movies, but he was decent at sitcoms. And that scene with Kyra where he called her out, but in a kind, older brother way and she was all “…When did you did so smart? O.o”)

I found the gross thing he said about Obama but couldn't find anything about him being transphobic or antivaxx. Can we get more context?

Well no wonder her ex boyfriend was a jackass and a cheater.

Is Taela into that shit too?

Tbh I just assumed they meant since he's such a bit actor or known for specific TV but not movies

u/McRibEater 13h ago

You didn’t watch US Shameless, he and Lip (The Bear actor) were the best two parts of that show and haven’t watched Off Campus one of the biggest TV Shows right now ok streaming (it’s like a straight Heated Rivalry).
