Born: July 27, 1967 in Los Angeles, California
Claim To Fame: Sasha Mitchell joined the cast of "Step by Step" in
October '91. His role of Cody Lambert reunited him with former
Dallas co-star Patrick Duffy with whom he worked for two
seasons playing James, J.R. Ewing's illegitimate son.
He played Cody from 1991-96 and after some personal problems
(more about this below), returned for its final season in 1998.
From 1990-1993, he took over for Jean-Claude Van Damme in the
"Kickboxer" movie series. Sasha was once an amateur kickboxing
champion.
Family Life: Jeannette Denise (1989 - 1997) (divorced)
Children: Pavlina Justine (b. 1988), Caroline (b. 1990)
Stacy (b. November 1996), and Ethan (b. 1997).
Info: Sasha had a few run-ins with the law all stemming
from spousal abuse charges. He spent time in jail and was released early for
good behavior... but then found himself back in the klink because he failed to
show up for court-mandated sessions with a spousal-abuse counselor and a
probation officer.
There are many rumors as to what really happened as far as the
spousal abuse charges. Some say he was protecting his kids from his ex's drug
induced abusive behavior. The people who believe this point to the fact that to
this day, Sasha has full custody of his kids and his ex-wife has limited
visitation rights.
Sasha had said his wife was addicted to drugs throughout their marriage, and
that she physically abused the children, which caused him to intervene. He also
claims that his wife then sold the spousal abuse stories to various tabloids.
Trivia: He likes hot and spicy Chinese food (with BIG red peppers) and
ice cream.
