Stephen Geoffreys made a profound and lasting impact on the film industry with his unique blend of unbridled energy and intense passion, which he brought to a select few comedies and horror movies throughout the 1980s.
Born Stephen Geoffrey Miller on November 22, 1964, in Cincinnati, Ohio, Geoffreys first began exploring his acting talents at a performing arts high school in his hometown, followed by acting classes at New York University.
Geoffreys' impressive performances in a handful of films during the 1980s left a lasting impression on audiences. His iconic portrayal of the obnoxious horror movie geek "Evil" Ed Thompson in the cult classic Fright Night (1985) is still widely recognized today.
In addition to his horror movie roles, Geoffreys displayed a natural flair for comedy in his performances as the anxious Williams in Heaven Help Us (1985),the nerdy Wendell in Fraternity Vacation (1985),and Hoax in the campy 976-EVIL (1988).
Geoffreys' other notable roles include his performances as Roach, a hardened inmate, in the dreary haunted prison drama The Chair (1988),and as Cookie, a slimy drug dealer, in the sci-fi film Moon 44 (1990).
The talented actor also made guest appearances on the TV anthology shows Amazing Stories (1985) and The Twilight Zone (1985).
Geoffreys has had a respectable stage career, appearing in Off-Broadway productions such as "The Human Comedy," "Maggie/Magalita," and "Songs on the Shipwrecked Sofa." He was even nominated for a Broadway Tony Award for Best Actor for his performance in the subsequent Broadway production of "The Human Comedy."
In a surprising career move, Geoffreys transitioned to acting in numerous gay hardcore pornography films under the pseudonyms Sam Ritter and Stephan Bordeaux.
Outside of acting, Geoffreys is an avid bodybuilder and writer, having penned several short stories.
After a lengthy absence from the big screen, Geoffreys made a welcome comeback with a co-starring role in the indie fright feature Sick Girl (2007).
