What Beans From Even Stevens Looks Like Today

Even Stevens launched Shia LaBeouf into reluctant superstardom, but fans of the Disney Channel series still wax poetic about Bernard "Beans" Aranguren , the Stevens' pesky, bacon-obsessed neighbor played by Steven Anthony Lawrence. Here's what Beans from Even Stevens looks like today. Steven Anthony Lawrence was around 11 years old when his character debuted in Season 2 of Even Stevens, and his bold audition was what landed him the TV role - but it did more than that. The young actor actually changed the script before he even landed the part, already cementing himself in Disney history even if he never made it all the way to the small screen. In a 2015 interview with HuffPost, Lawrence revealed that he used to tell jokes during his auditions as a, quote, "shtick" that would help him stand out in a crowd. During his Even Stevens audition, he told a joke about a pirate. When he got a second callback, he saw that his joke had been written into the script. As he recalled: "But it wasn't even a sure thing yet, so I'm going, 'Oh my God, if I don't book this. It's my joke. I'm gonna be pissed, man.'" Of course, Lawrence did get the part, and thus one of the most iconic Disney Channel sidekicks in early aughts history was born. #Actor #EvenStevens #Beans A creative introduction | 0:00 Money for beans | 1:17 End of an era | 2:25 No more bacon | 3:25 Still acting | 4:00 Helping future stars | 5:03 Tight with co-stars | 5:35 Naughty or Nice? | 6:07 Missing the nostalgia | 6:52
