Oconomowoc native Steven Sievert moved out to Los Angeles in 2016 with dreams of making it big. 

Along with him went about $80,000 of student loan debt from his time at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

More than a year after Sievert moved to the city of stars, he responded to a casting call for a show about millennials in debt. 

“I thought it would be a great opportunity to address my financial situation,” Sievert said. 

At the time, he was living a minimalist lifestyle out of his ’97 Toyota Corolla. 

“It was hard to get an apartment,” he said. “My credit wasn’t the best and I had the student loan debt.”

He was casted on “Going from Broke,” a new docu-series from executive producer Ashton Kutcher, Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment and Matador Content. It was released Thursday on Crackle, a free streaming service. 

Sievert, 28, filmed with the show a couple days a week over the span of a few months last year. When he wasn’t on set, he was vlogging on his phone and keeping the crew updated on his progress. 

During filming, he got financial advice from Dan Rosensweig, CEO of Chegg, an education technology company, and financial expert Danetha Doe.  

“We went over my finances and really came up with a plan of action to better my financial situation, get me in more of a stable situation, and how to address my finances and hopefully, get me out of debt, eventually,” Sievert said. 

Sievert also got guidance from Ashton Kutcher himself. 

“It was really nice to have the opportunity to sit down and interview someone and get their firsthand experience of their life story and how they got started in a career that I want to get started in,” Sievert said. 

Season 1 is made up of 10 half-hour episodes, each one sharing a different millennial’s debt journey. Sievert’s story is on episode 7 “Art before Rent?”

“I’m really thankful for the show,” Sievert said. “It was a great opportunity to help get my life on track.”

After graduating from Oconomowoc High School in 2009, Sievert studied entrepreneurship and communication arts: radio-television-film at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. 

During college, he had a marketing internship with a corporate insurance company. 

Shortly after graduating in 2015, he moved back to Oconomowoc and did freelance work while delivering pizzas. 

In November 2016, he decided to pack up his car and drive to Los Angeles.

“I just felt like it was the right place for me,” he said. “The industry was out here, so there was a lot more work out here. And, I wanted to go somewhere warm after growing up in Wisconsin.”

When he got to the West Coast, he did freelance videography and YouTube vlogging, then got into acting. 

“After being on set all the time, I decided to take some (acting) classes and really give it a shot,” he said. 

He had taken drama classes and was in productions during his high school years, he said. 

Sievert is currently a full-time actor “auditioning constantly.” He’s done commercials, including one for Volkswagen, and short films to build up his reel. 

“I love to evoke a feeling in someone else and make someone else feel something through my performance,” he said. “That’s the best thing.”
