Esteemed actor Steven Krueger is on fire with back-to-back series regular roles in 2021.
He can currently be seen co-starring opposite Christina Ricci and Juliette Lewis in Showtime’s hit thriller series Yellowjackets. He also plays the love interest of the female lead in Season 3 of the hit CW series Roswell, New Mexico. These most recent roles build on his breakout series regular role on CW’s hit series The Originals, where he played the comedic and fan favorite character, Josh Rosza, for all five seasons of the show.
Steven has additionally guest starred on a long list of hit shows like Pretty Little Liars, Hawaii 5-0, NCIS, Workaholics, Two and A Half Men, and Good Trouble. His feature credits include a major supporting role in Sony box office hit Goosebumps and the lead of indie thriller Satanic.
Krueger grew up in Sarasota, Florida where his mother enlisted him in acting class and introduced him to the world of the performing arts. It wasn’t until he found himself in Los Angeles for a post-college internship that he realized he truly wanted to pursue a career in that respective field. In addition to his on-camera work, Krueger also aims to branch into directing and producing. Outside of the industry, Krueger was a competitive tennis player for 15 years and spends a lot of time traveling around the world in search of outdoor adventures.
Chilled chats with Krueger about his favorite places to eat and drink, his love of classic cocktails and how he regrets never being a bartender.
Tell us about the projects you are working on.
I currently star on Yellowjackets which premiered on Showtime. I rarely say this about my own projects, but this show is incredible. I’m so proud of how unusual it is, and I think the audience is going to have an absolute blast watching the story unfold. So don’t miss it!
With your busy schedule, what do you like to do with your downtime?
Anything that involves being outside. Could be hiking a mountain, riding a bike, playing volleyball on the beach, or just sitting in a hammock with a book and a cocktail.
When you go out to eat, where do you like to dine?
Over the years I’ve developed a really heightened ability to research restaurants in whatever city I happen to find myself in. Whether it’s an all-time classic, a hidden gem, or a new trendy pop-up, I will find it and I will try it.
What types of dishes do you typically order?
My favorite thing to do is find two or three things on the menu that look amazing and then ask the server to pick one and surprise me. It’s a fun way to experience restaurants.
Any favorite bars?
Thunderbolt in Echo Park and No Vacancy in Hollywood have always been favorites of mine.
What drinks do you order when out?
I’ve been on a big Negroni kick of late. Now that we’re moving into the colder season I’ll probably start to rotate into Old Fashioned and Manhattan territory. Of course, my all-time staple is a simple blanco tequila on the rocks.
Do you prepare drinks at home?
For as much as I enjoy a drink when I’m out to eat or hanging with friends, I don’t really drink at home that often.
Tell us about your home bar. What is it stocked with?
Currently living at my best friend’s house while I settle back into LA so we’ve got something of a collaborative bar cart situation now. It includes Basil Hayden’s bourbon and Suntory Hibiki whiskey, Fortaleza Blanco, Casamigos mezcal, Botanist gin, some Campari and Aperol, a couple bottles of bitters and of course, some Carpano Antica Formula vermouth for those Negronis.
Have you ever been a bartender?
No and I regret it. I would have loved to have that experience at some point in my 20s. Who knows, maybe it’s not too late.
If you could share a drink with anyone, who would it be?
My hypothetical famous dinner party guests would also be fun to gather for a cocktail, so I’ll go with Meryl Streep, Roger Federer, and Barack Obama.
