With his breakthrough performance as Ethan in Matthew Hope's All The Devil's Men, English actor Steven Blades has been brought to the attention of audiences worldwide. He is also no stranger to television as he has also appeared in popular productions such as Coronation Street and Vikings.
Steven Blades was born 20th July 1989 in Sheffield and raised by his mother Susan Blades.

Steven completed his basic training and became a Royal Marines Commando in 2008, although not before breaking his foot and tearing ligaments in his leg during the process. He was first drafted to Yankee Company in 45 Commando Arbroath Scotland, before deploying to Afghanistan with Brigade HQ on Operation Herrick 09. Steven's aspirations to rise through the military ranks were taken from him in 2010 when he was medically discharged from the Royal Marines, due to an injury which left him partially blind in his right eye.
The years that followed were extremely dark for Steven. As not only was he adapting to civilian life, but he was also coming to terms with the fact that his whole world had just been taken from him. However he wasn't ready to throw in the towel just yet. He travelled to Cape Town South Africa and was trained in Close Protection. Advancing his skillset in close quarter combat, surveillance/counter surveillance, defensive driving and advanced weapons handling.

Over the years to come Steven provided armed protection to commercial vessels and their crew, from the immediate threat of Somali Pirates. He also provided Personal Protection to some of the most influential people in the world.
It wasn't until 2013 were Steven found his true calling in life. He began taking drama classes in Sheffield and quickly realized that the creative space was where he truly felt alive. He sold his house, car and most of his belongings to make the move to London. Steven then began working as a supporting artist taking whatever work he could get, while also attending acting classes.
In 2015 Steven starred in The Wild Card directed by Nicholas Cohen, performing the role of Archie Muscato, whilst also producing the film. The duo then went on to create Recoil in 2018, a short film based on the dark period of Steven life after leaving the Royal Marines.
