It's probably been a while since you've even thought of Even Stevens, the beloved Disney Channel show that recently celebrated the 20th anniversary of its finale (and the 23rd anniversary of its premiere). Louis Stevens (Shia LaBeouf) was always butting heads with his straight-arrow sister Ren (Christy Carlson Romano) and caught up in some kind of money-making scheme with his friends. (Remember when he turned his house into an actual bed and breakfast while his parents were away?)

A lot has happened since the show premiered on June 17, 2000, so let's see what the cast of Even Stevens is up to today.

Shia LaBeouf as Louis Stevens

The part of Louis Stevens was LaBeouf's breakout role, winning him a Daytime Emmy and launching him into other projects like 2003's Holes. The actor later scored prominent roles in action films like Transformers, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, and Fury. LaBeouf has seen his fair share of troubles over the years, including court-ordered rehab, plagiarism scandals, and allegations of domestic abuse. He is facing a civil suit from ex-girlfriend FKA Twigs for sexual assault and is scheduled to go to trial later this year. He's still working, though; he stars alongside Aubrey Plaza and Adam Driver in the upcoming Francis Ford Coppola film Megalopolis, which is set to premiere in 2024.

Playing Louis' overachieving older sister wasn't Romano's only Disney Channel role. She was also the voice of Kim Possible in the network's eponymous animated series from 2002 to 2007. The actress has two children with her husband, Marine veteran and podcast startup CEO Brendan Rooney. In 2023, Romano and Rooney launched the Even More Stevens Podcast with her fellow former costars Nick Spano and Steven Anthony Lawrence where they share behind-the-scenes stories from the set.
