Born in Champaign, Illinois but raised mostly in the south, Stephen LaDow has always been enthralled with performing and felt the pull of the stage in his early teens. Once he found the local community theatre, he knew he was home. That lead to many years of plays in community theaters, Summerstock, and eventually a few regional theaters. In 2018 he decided to refocus his energies and make the leap to the film and television industry. Stephen is hearing impaired but does not let that hinder the pursuit of his dreams. Stephen resides in New Orleans, LA- a city that provides daily inspiration and makes him feel complete.
