Curt Stevens, voiced by Fabio Stephens, is an early Adventures in Odyssey character who first appeared in #103: “Front Page News”. Interestingly, his character's last name was named after the actor - Fabio Stephens, though the writers spelled it differently.

[edit] History

In middle school, Curt would often try to get out of gym class because he was sick of running laps. One such scheme was when Curt told Coach Stubbs he had a rare tropical disease. Coach Stubbs sent Curt to the school nurse, who sent Curt to the principal's office; the principal then sent Curt home to his parents, who sent him to his room for a week. Another involved Curt trying to boycott the "fascist left wing competition", as he put it. As a result, Coach Stubbs washed Curt's mouth out with soap.

[edit] Family & Home

See Stevens family

Much of Curt's family was revealed in the episode #150: “Home Is Where the Hurt Is”. Curt's mother left him and his father, Frank Stevens, after he was born. As a result, Curt's father became an alcoholic.

Despite this, in #117: “The Trouble with Girls”, Curt said that his mom packed his lunch. This is presumably an error on behalf of the writers.

Curt and his father live in a trailer park at least during Curt's time in Middle School. Their phone number was revealed to be 555-2157.

The Stevens's address, 561 Potter Park, is an allusion to "It's a Wonderful Life". In the film, "Potter's Field" was owned by the rich man, and was known as a slum.

[edit] Friends

Curt was often paired with Lucy Cunningham-Schultz. In many episodes, Lucy tried to convince Curt to give up on his "schemes". In #638: “The Triangled Web, Part 1”, it was revealed that Lucy and Curt dated throughout high school, and actually were supposed to go to the senior dance together, but he backed out, afraid that Lucy would begin to talk about their "future".

Curt and Oscar Peterson have also been paired.

[edit] Personality

Curt will do almost anything to get out of work. Ironically, he usually puts more effort into a scheme then he would have done by actually doing the work. He also makes bad and/or wrong choices and/or helps others to make the wrong choice.

“	Curt Stevens: What do you think the city will do now? Harvey Nelson: Oh, I'll recommend appointing a full independent panel to conduct a full inquiry into the circumstances behind this scandal, which means, of course, by the time the panel comes to any conclusions, no one will care anymore because we'll have assured the people in the meantime that this administration will be rethinking its current policy of land grants/ When a more broad-based detail policy can be submitted, which when it is submitted, will be inconclusive and open to misinterpretation and of questionable help to the government. Curt Stevens: You're really crackers, aren't you? Straight from the pack, 100% saltine. You make it sound like you've done this before. Harvey Nelson: Plenty of times. You didn't really think anything changes in government, did you?	”
