Beans actor from Even Stevens is unrecognisable after being fired from Universal Studios

When it comes to remembering Even Stevens characters, likely, your mind will first go to the mischievous Louis, played by Shia LaBeouf, followed by his sister Ren (Christy Carlson Romano), and their mother, Eileen, portrayed by the iconic Donna Pescow.

But when was the last time you really thought about Bernard Aranguren, AKA Beans on Even Stevens?

In case you’ve forgotten, Beans was the Stevens’ extremely annoying neighbour who’d often walk into the family home, demand bacon, and then just refuse to leave for the duration of the episode.

At one point, the Disney Channel character became a sidekick of Louis and his best friend, Alan Twitty (A. J. Trauth), often helping them pull off schemes, only for him to double-cross them at the last minute.

Love him or loathe him, Beans was undeniably a fixture of many of our childhoods between 2001 and 2003.

And it really is thanks to actor Steven Anthony Lawrence, 34, that we have the sweet, sweet memories.

The American, whose credits also include Nickelodeon’s The Amanda Show and That’s So Raven, as well as feature films such as Cheaper by the Dozen and Bratz, continues to act, with his latest role being an episode of Bad Therapist.

Lawrence also appeared on season five of Rob Lowe’s The Floor, defeating another contestant called Morgan before eventually conceding to another named Anthony.

The show, broadcast on 20 May, sees contestants facing off in duels on a ‘giant LED floor divided into a hundred equal squares, each representing its own field of knowledge’, as per an official synopsis.

During the show, the now unrecognisable star admitted that playing Beans from Even Stevens was easily his ‘favourite’ ever role.

Other famous faces who competed alongside him included Jonathan Pettibone, a former MLB player, ex-basketball star Carolyn Swords and Olympian Emmanuel Matadi.

Earlier this year, Lawrence claimed he lost his job at Universal Studios Hollywood after ‘reporting a suspected pedofile [sic] around children’.

In a post shared to Instagram, the one-time child star alleged he had been ‘delayed posting this for about a month because [he] was hoping we could find some sort of amicable solution’ to the situation.

He continued, claiming he had been working at the theme park as a ‘performing and dancing’ member of the entertainment team.

"It is with a heavy heart I have to announce that my time with Universal Studios has ended,” he said.

"While I will truly miss my job I cannot be associated with an organization or people that don't care about performer or guest safety while numerous people continue to get hurt.”

In a statement to Entertainment Weekly, a Universal Studios Hollywood spokesperson said: "We have investigated and reviewed the concerns brought forward by this former employee and they were found to be inaccurate and without merit.

“We take all employee concerns seriously and have established processes for raising any concerns without fear of retaliation.”
