his portrayals of Chuck Fishman on Early Edition, Eugene "The Plague"
Belford in Hackers, and Ben Jabituya in the Short Circuit movies. His

Stevens started the Naked Angels Theatre Company with longtime friend Ned
Eisenberg in 1987. He also owns a film production company called
Greenestreet Films, located in Tribeca, New York City.

Prolific young actor of the NY stage who has also amassed a number of
credits in films and TV since the early 1980s. Stevens has performed in more
than 20 NY stage productions including 544 performances in Harvey
Fierstein's "Torch Song Trilogy", both on and off Broadway. He also co-founded
and served as artistic director for Naked Angels, a NYC-based theater
company.
Stevens' somewhat less than classic good looks have tended to land him roles
playing weaselly or nerdy characters in films and TV. He had a charming bit
part as a subway card trickster in John Sayles' "The Brother From Another
Planet" and a substantial supporting role as a friend of cabana boy Matt
Dillon in "Flamingo Kid" (both 1984). Stevens had his most widespread
exposure playing East Indian scientist Ben Jahrvi, inventor of the lovable
Number Five robot, in "Short Circuit" (1986) and "Short Circuit 2" (1988).
His subsequent film credits included "Reversal of Fortune" (1990), playing a
sleazy drug dealer, "Mystery Date" (1991), as an angry florist, and "Only
You" (1994), as the nerdy roofer husband of Bonnie Hunt.
Stevens tried his hand at a TV series with the short-lived "Key West" (Fox,
1993), a quirky comedy/drama series in which he played a down on his luck
lottery winner forced to work as a reporter for a Florida newspaper. In
1996, he returned to series TV in the supporting role of the slightly
unscrupulous friend of a man who mysteriously receives the next day's
newspaper. |
