Early life

McQueen was born in Los Angeles, California to Stacey Toten[1] (now Stacia Robitaille) and actor and producer Chad McQueen.[2] His paternal grandparents are actor Steve McQueen and Filipino actress Neile Adams.[3] Neile Adams' niece is Filipino-Spanish socialite Isabel Preysler, mother of Enrique Iglesias, Julio Iglesias Jr. and Chabeli Iglesias, making McQueen and Enrique second cousins.[4] His stepfather, Luc Robitaille, is a former professional ice hockey player who spent the majority of his career with the Los Angeles Kings of the National Hockey League.[2] McQueen is the oldest of four children with a half-brother, Chase (b. 1995) and a half-sister, Madison (b. 1997) from his father's remarriage, and a half-brother, Jesse Robitaille, from his mother's remarriage. McQueen's stage name is "Steven R. McQueen", the "R" referring to his stepfather's surname Robitaille.[5]

Career

In 2005, McQueen made his television debut appearing in an episode of the short-lived CBS science fiction drama Threshold. He guest-starred on a number of television series including Without a Trace, CSI: Miami and Numb3rs. One of his most notable roles to date was a recurring role as Kyle Hunter for seven episodes of the fourth and final season of The WB drama Everwood from 2005 to 2006. In January 2008, he made his film debut in the Disney Channel Original Movie Minutemen where he played the villainous role of Derek Beaugard.

In 2009, McQueen was cast as Jeremy Gilbert in the CW's television adaptation of L. J. Smith's The Vampire Diaries novels and starred for the first six seasons until 2015. Gilbert was written to have left Mystic Falls for art school when it was announced that the sixth season would be McQueen's last.[6] In 2015, McQueen joined the cast of the NBC drama Chicago Fire in the fourth season as Jimmy Borelli, a new candidate assigned to Firehouse 51.[7] He was credited in the recurring cast in the first six episodes and was added to the main cast in the seventh episode.[8] In October 2016, McQueen's character was written out of the show during the fifth season.[9]
