J Michael Miller Lecture Series
Each year the Lecture will sponsor an expert who has overcome the dichotomy of faith and life and risen to greatness precisely by embodying the values of the Catholic Intellectual Tradition in professional practice. The Lecture is free and open to the public.
Fifth Annual Archbishop Miller Lecture
Stephen McEveety, Producer and Director
Stephen “Steve” McEveety is an American film producer, director, actor and writer. As a child he appeared in episodes of the golden age TV series Gunsmoke, My Three Sons, and Star Trek. Today, Steve is a producer at Mel Gibson’s Icon Productions. “I’m in a position where I have more of a say about what projects I pursue,” says Steve. “And I hope I will have a positive effect on the rest of the world by my choices. That’s the power of the media. There’s a great deal of responsibility that one has when producing films. So being Catholic is now playing a larger role in how I approach projects. And that’s been clearly influenced by my upbringing.” He credits his faith with other influences, too. “I’m really fascinated with the question of what is good or evil—in film, in life,” he says. “And that definitely comes from being Catholic.”
