Stephen Wallem (born June 14, 1968) is an American stage and television actor. He is best known for his one-man musical revue, "Off the Wallem", as well as numerous theater productions. Wallem is also a playwright, composer, and director. From 2009 to 2015, he portrayed Thor Lundgren in the Showtime series Nurse Jackie. He is the younger brother of Linda Wallem, who is an actress, a writer, and a producer.
After wrapping up season 3 of Nurse Jackie, Wallem teamed up with costar Edie Falco for a cabaret show entitled The Other Steve and Edie. The production, conceived by Wallem and Falco with musical direction by three-time After Dark Award winner Beckie Menzie and direction by Tony Humrichouser, ran for a 3-night limited engagement at The Laurie Beechman Theatre. The show received numerous critical accolades, with one reviewer stating There was a well thought out balance between serious ballads and more humorous pieces, the obvious forte of Wallem, who delighted the crowd with two parodies, one a spoof of "wordy lyrics," another a takeoff on Wicked's "Defying Gravity," changed to "Defying Parody".http://www.womanaroundtown.com/sections/playing-around/this-soprano-can-sing
