Before landing the role as the showrunner for The Flight Attendant, and now his new series, Dead Boy Detectives, we explore Steve's origin story of how he first got into Hollywood and what crucial lessons he learned from his first TV gigs, including Supernatural, before entering into the role as showrunner for the first time.
