Ian Parks

"Hot Toddy"

Ian, who played Todd Stevens, is a film school graduate and moved to Los Angeles from his home state of Pennsylvania. He has worked a variety of jobs in the film industry as a successful editor and sound designer for features, as well as an actor in his off time, which is how he came to be a fan favorite in Where the Bears Are. Originally the role of Todd was going to be the killer at the end of season 1, but after Ian’s audition, the producers didn’t want him going off to prison so they changed the ending and made Ian an integral member of the cast for the next seven seasons.
