Steven Bauer

Steven Bauer has an amazing 188 acting credits. By the way, he was born in Havana on December 2, 1956 – Esteban Ernesto Echevarria.

I first remember him in 1983’s Scarface – Who can ever forget the chain-saw scene in the shower? Or Al Pacino’s chronic over-acting?

From there, I saw Steven Bauer in Running Scared (1986), Primal Fear (1996), and Traffic (2000).

He’s a handsome dude. Someone told me he got fat. I was surprised to see him in a couple episode’s of Breaking Bad (2011). He plays Mexican drug lord Don Eladio. He’s wearing a bathing suit in several scenes around the swimming pool at his mansion and he looked pretty good for a 55-year-old man.

He was in 1998’s The Versace Murder, but I missed the movie. Ironically, that was one of the cases that made me stop writing murder stories for True Detective.

The magazine accepted three of my queries at that time – the Gianni Versace case, Brookhaven’s Aimee Willard who was murdered by Arthur Bomar on the Media Bypass in 1996, and Megan Kanka – the little girl whose rape and murder in 1994 was responsible for the enactment of Megan’s Law.

I researched all three stories – even went to Megan’s home in New Jersey and visited the scene of the crime – but I never finished them. All the mayhem and violence that people inflict on one another had finally gotten to me. So I switched to crime fiction – which is all make-believe.

and I approve this message.

Warner Books published Born to Be Wild in 1992 & it still sells every day at Amazon & Kindle. True story about certain members of the Warlocks motorcycle gang.

The story takes 21 years to play out – with many twists & turns – an amalgam of Sons of Anarchy & Breaking Bad – but these outlaw bikers make the Sons look like Cub Scouts.
