Steve Valentine (born 26 October 1966) is a Scottish actor, musician, and magician who has performed on stage and screen but who is best known for his role as the eccentric Nigel Townsend on NBC's crime drama Crossing Jordan and as Harry Flynn in the critically acclaimed PlayStation 3 game Uncharted 2: Among Thieves as well as the voice of Alistair in Bioware's Dragon Age franchise. He also starred in the Disney XD sitcom I'm in the Band as Derek Jupiter until its 2011 cancellation.
Valentine has been seen in films such as Tim Burton's Mars Attacks! Teen Beach Movie and Foreign Correspondents and has guest-starred on shows such as House M.D., Monk, Just Shoot Me, Will and Grace, Dharma & Greg, Supernatural and Charmed. He appeared as an art critic in Ringo Starr's Discover Card "Private Issue" commercials in 1995. Valentine hosted the Sci-Fi Channel's reality show Estate of Panic. He voiced the character of Alistair in Dragon Age: Origins as well as the character of Harry Flynn in the video game Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. Beyond movies, Valentine is a rather accomplished magician, using this skill to portray magicians occasionally. He also was Mr. Moore in the 2010-aired Disney Channel movie Avalon High, which was his third Disney Channel Movie (the first being Don't Look Under the Bed), and was also in Wizards of Waverly Place: The Movie. In 2013, along with Kevin Chamberlin, he played a villain on Teen Beach Movie, which starred Ross Lynch and Maia Mitchell.
