Steele McGonegal, a native Virginian, and proud Virginia Tech Hokie, has been a professional actor for 11 years. Highlights of his acting career include principal characters in "A woman Named Jackie" and "Vanishing Son", both of which are mini-series filmed here in Virginia. Additionally, Steele has acted opposite Pam Greer in a commercial for her television show on Cinemax, "Linc's". Big screen credits include "The Jackal" with Sidney Portier, Bruce Willis, and Richard Geer, though Steele's role was a small one made even smaller by the film's editor. Go figure. Roles in "The FBI Files" and "The Prosecutors" are also among Steele's credits. He awaits word to begin filming "The Operatives" in which he has a leading role as a former Special Forces Desert Storm Vet who is a leader of a covert team of operatives. A schedule has yet to be set for filming this television pilot.

Steele works as a sales representative for Aventis Pharmaceuticals as his full time career. He is also a Rifle Platoon Leader for Alpha Company First Brigade, first Battalion, 116th Regiment 29th Infantry Division (Virginia Army National Guard). He has been with the Virginia Guard for over 15 years. Prior to his career in the Pharmaceutical industry, Steele taught English, theatre, and journalism for seven years at Maury High School in Norfolk, Virginia.

Steele and his wife, Terra, have one child, a daughter. The family lives in Virginia Beach. In the free time that he has, Steele enjoys rock climbing and practicing martial arts. He is also a big fan of playing with his daughter, and spending time with his wife.
