Steven Howard Antin was born in Queens, New York City, to British Jewish immigrant parents. He grew up in a creative family alongside his siblings, many of whom also found success in the entertainment industry. His brother Neil Antin is an actor, while Robin Antin is the founder of the pop group and dance ensemble, the Pussycat Dolls. Another brother, Jonathan Antin, is a well-known hairstylist and salon owner.
Steven Antin began his acting career in the early 1980s, earning attention for his roles in several notable films. He co-starred in the teen comedy-drama The Last American Virgin (1982), followed by a supporting role as the antagonist Troy in the cult classic The Goonies (1985), directed by Richard Donner. In 1987, he appeared in Penitentiary III, and in 1988, he played a supporting role in the critically acclaimed film The Accused, which won an Academy Award for Best Actress for Jodie Foster.
Though widely misattributed, Antin did not star in a film titled Jessie’s Girl—the name is more commonly associated with Rick Springfield’s hit song and not a feature film starring Antin. However, he did appear in the independent film Inside Monkey Zetterland (1992), which received positive reviews for its unique storytelling and ensemble cast.
In the mid-1990s, Antin played a gay man in the drama film It’s My Party (1996), acting opposite Eric Roberts. He also performed as a stunt man in various film productions, showcasing his versatility within the industry.
