Steve Agee is an American comedian, actor, writer, and musician best known for his work in James Gunn’s DC projects, most notably as John Economos on the HBO television series Peacemaker. His performance on the show turned Economos into a fan-favorite character, blending dry humor, unexpected emotional beats, and strong ensemble chemistry across the series.

Agee’s role as Economos began in The Suicide Squad, where he also worked behind the scenes as the on-set stand-in for Nanaue / King Shark, a collaboration that carried over into Peacemaker and later appearances within DC film projects, including Shazam! Fury of the Gods.

Before his work with Gunn, Agee was widely recognized for his comedic television roles, particularly as Steve Myron on The Sarah Silverman Program, and for his long-running presence in alternative comedy as a performer, writer, and collaborator. Across his career, he has balanced comedy, character acting, and behind-the-scenes contributions, with Peacemaker marking his most visible and defining role to date.
