Early Life

Brian Patrick Stepanek was born on February 6, 1971, in Cleveland, Ohio. He attended Gilmour Academy, a private Catholic school in Gates Mills, before going on to study theater at Syracuse University. His early training in classical and comedic acting gave him a strong foundation in performance, and after graduation, he began working steadily in regional theater and television commercials.

Television Career

Stepanek’s breakout role came in 2005 when he was cast as Arwin Hawkhauser, the quirky and lovably awkward hotel engineer on “The Suite Life of Zack & Cody.” His portrayal became a fan favorite, and although he was never part of the main cast, his recurring appearances left a lasting impression. The series starred twins Dylan Sprouse and Cole Sprouse as Zack and Cody Martin, Brenda Song as hotel heiress London Tipton, Ashley Tisdale as candy-counter girl Maddie Fitzpatrick, and Phill Lewis as the uptight hotel manager Mr. Moseby. Disney even shot a pilot for a spin-off series titled “Arwin!” though it was ultimately not picked up.

After his success with Disney, Stepanek transitioned to Nickelodeon, where he played the father, Tom Harper, on the hit series “Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn,” which ran from 2014 to 2018. The show centered on a set of quadruplets played by Aidan Gallagher (Nicky), Casey Simpson (Ricky), Mace Coronel (Dicky), and Lizzy Greene (Dawn). He also took on the voice role of Lynn Loud Sr. in the long-running animated series “The Loud House,” beginning in 2016. His work on that show extended into several spin-offs and specials, further cementing his association with Nickelodeon’s core brand of family-friendly programming.

In addition to these roles, Stepanek has guest-starred on numerous television series, including “Two and a Half Men,” “The West Wing,” “Malcolm in the Middle,” “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” “Modern Family,” and “Young Sheldon.”
