For an actor who often keeps a relatively low profile, Steve Howey has managed to capture the attention of the internet. These days, the 47-year-old is widely recognized for his work on Shameless. But long before that, he stole the hearts of many with his role as the not-so-bright yet big-hearted, goofy and well-meaning son-in-law in Reba. And even after the end of Reba, viewers have been campaigning for a reboot for years. Finally, their wish was partially granted.
