Alan Stepp has been busy in Hollywood for over twenty-five years,
producing, writing, directing, and acting. Alan is a fourth generation
Texan. He grew up in Channelview, a small Texas town on the outskirts
of Houston. Graduating from Texas State University, Alan earned a
business degree with a concentration in management. By this time, he
had become an avid member of the theater department, and appeared in
numerous school productions. After graduation, Alan became a sales
engineer for a Fortune 500 company on the West Coast. While in Los
Angeles, he was given the opportunity to launch his professional acting
career. Alan was invited back home to perform on the Houston stage.
Once back in Houston, a myriad of television and commercial work became
available to him. Alan began performing in numerous commercials,
television, and feature films. During this time, Alan became the
producer and director of "CRIMESTOPPERS" for the local ABC News
affiliate. The show became so successful that the popular television
show,"20/20" came to Houston to do a feature piece on the program,
which also featured his directing of the series. Alan also produced and
directed numerous specials for ABC News. Even with a busy production
schedule, he maintained time to serve on the Board of Directors for the
Screen Actors Guild. With established credits, Alan relocated back to
Los Angeles to provide himself with direct access to the studios and
networks. He immediately started working in front of and behind the
camera on several major projects. At this time, "the infamous Texas
cheerleader murdering mom scandal" came into the national spotlight.
Alan's hometown of Channelview was reeling with media publicity.
Producers across the country were doing everything in their power to
obtain this story. Alan knew he had to do this project, because he
wanted the story told with sensitivity toward citizens of Channelview,
instead of pure exploitation. Alan produced and co-starred in the
successful ABC television movie "WILLING TO KILL - THE TEXAS
CHEERLEADER STORY." It starred Lesley Ann Warren & Tess Harper and
garnered a twenty-four market share to twenty-one million viewers. Alan
was also one of the producers of the critically acclaimed independent
feature film, "DANCER TEXAS - POP. 81." released by Tri-Star/Columbia
to outstanding reviews. N.Y. Times - "Best representation of Texas...
since The Last Picture Show". Alan has worked for all the major studios
and networks including Warner Brothers, 20th Century Fox, Paramount,
Disney, ABC, CBS, NBC, and several major cable networks. He recently
acquired the life-rights to another powerful Texas true crime story
(Texas Monthly magazine article).
