Burr Gore Steers (born October 8, 1965) is an American actor, screenwriter, and director; notable films include Igby Goes Down (2002) and 17 Again (2009). He is also the nephew of writer Gore Vidal.
Steers was born in Washington, D.C. His father, Newton Ivan Steers, Jr. (1917–1993), was a Republican congressman from Maryland. His mother, Nina Gore Auchincloss (born 1937), was the daughter of stockbroker and lawyer Hugh D. Auchincloss, a cousin of Louis Auchincloss, as well as a stepsister of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and the younger half-sister of the writer Gore Vidal. Steers is a relative of vice president Aaron Burr, the third Vice President of the United States. Steers' great-grandfather, Thomas Gore, served as Oklahoma's first Democratic senator, from 1907 until 1921 and from 1931 until 1937, while his great-great-grandfather, Oliver Burr Jennings, was a founder of Standard Oil. Steers' godfather is former Virginia Senator John Warner.
His brother Hugh Auchincloss Steers (1963–1995) was an American figurative painter whose later works often focused on AIDS as a theme. He has another brother, Ivan Steers, and five stepsiblings from his mother's second marriage to editor Michael Whitney Straight.
