Disney Channel’s beloved show Even Stevens, starring Shia LaBeouf and Christy Carlson Romano, aired from 2000 to 2003, following the daily lives of the Stevens family’s two younger children, Ren and Louis. More than 20 years later, LaBeouf and Romano are back on our screens, but for very different reasons.
On a Tuesday in February 2026, LaBeouf was celebrating Mardi Gras in New Orleans when he was arrested for an alleged assault outside of a bar. Reports of his split with wife Mia Goth added to the rumors circling social media. Meanwhile, Romano shared heartbreaking news on Instagram. Dealing with personal tragedies, Romano also faced challenges from a terrifying accident in 2025 and a fragment of debris still lodged behind her eye.
Still, fans are curious about what the full cast of Even Stevens has been up to since 2003. Let’s take a look at who’s still acting and who has found passion outside of showbiz.
Shia LaBeouf, who played Louis, found success in blockbuster films post-Even Stevens, commanding a high salary per picture. However, his personal life has had an impact on his career, facing multiple legal issues over the years.
Christy Carlson Romano, who played Ren, continued her successful career, transitioning to voice acting and launching a podcast with her husband. Despite personal and health challenges, Romano remains resilient.
Steven Anthony Lawrence, who portrayed Beans, built a strong career with several acting credits post-Even Stevens. He has also become a fan convention favorite and is available for booking via Cameo.
Other cast members like Nick Spano, Tom Virtue, and Donna Pescow have also continued their acting careers, with new projects and personal endeavors.
