Courtenay is an award-winning stage and screen actor, host and physical comedian whose "passion has just the right balance of silliness and intensity" says Toronto's Now Magazine. He's been lied to, punched out and shot at countless times on TV and he's been laughed at all around the world as a Cirque du Soleil clown. Of his work in over 40 plays, Opera Ramblings praises him with being "silent but incredibly expressive" while the Georgia Straight simply says "Stevens has talent to burn".
