Steve Railsback [Mr. Day]

Steve Railsback is not only an award winning actor, but an accomplished film and television producer and director. His upcoming projects exemplify his multi-faceted talents in the entertainment industry.

Steve will portray Robert Blake in DYING FOR STARDOM: THE ABSOLUTELY UNBELIEVABLE TRUE STORY OF BONNY LEE BAKLEY. The made-for-TV movie starts shooting March 2005 coinciding with the real-life trial of Robert Blake.

Following completion of BONNY LEE BAKLEY, Railsback begins producing and directing BARSTOW, a character-driven, total performance, dark comedy. The feature film was written by his brother Philip Railsback, who also wrote the acclaimed, THE STARS FELL ON HENRIETTA (starring Robert Duvall). Dwight Yoakam portrays Mickey; a tattooed loser, who has spent some time in jail.

In addition, Railsback received accolades for his role as Duane Barry in the popular FOX-TV series, THE X-FILES. In the two-part episode, entitled DUANE BARRY (part one) and ASCENSION (part two). Duane Barry, a former FBI agent, claims to have been abducted by aliens as part of an ongoing experiment that they have been conducting, and has a difficult time convincing anyone that he is sane.

Steve recalls that, “I had never seen THE X-FILES and had just completed directing my first motion picture, THE SPY WITHIN starring Scott Glenn and Theresa Russell. I was in the editing room when I got a call from THE X-FILES creator Chris Carter. He explained that he wrote the character Duane Barry with me in mind; it would be the first two parter (of the second season) and he was going to direct for the first time. He told me that he was a big fan of my work. I was so flattered that I stopped editing my film to play this memorable role, and am still getting stopped on the street by Duane Barry fans.”

In 1998, Steve co-starred in the FOX-TV series THE VISITOR with John Corbett, and in 1999, co-starred in the feature film DISTURBING BEHAVIOR.

Steve Railsback’s philosophy is that “this business is an investment. You must commit to it, despite all of the negativity and rejection. You can’t just say, ‘well, I will do it for two or three years and see what happens.’ I don’t mind though, because I can’t remember ever wanting to do anything else. I always say that I’ve got another performance in me.”

Steve and his wife Marcy, currently reside in Los Angeles with their son Beau and daughter Eden. Steve’s daughter Lalesha resides in Northern California. They are very family-oriented and enjoy spending time together traveling, playing golf and watching boxing.
