Stephen Geoffreys

Stephen Geoffreys, born Stephen Geoffrey Miller on November 22, 1964, in Cincinnati, Ohio, began his career on the stage. He moved to New York City to study acting at NYU and quickly found success on Broadway. In 1984, he received a nomination for Broadway’s Tony Award for “Best Performance by a Featured Actor in a Musical” for his role in “The Human Comedy.” That same year, he was awarded the Theatre World Award for his performance.

Geoffreys transitioned to film in the mid-1980s, appearing in several horror and teen films. His first film role was in the 1985 prep school drama “Heaven Help Us.” The same year, he gained widespread recognition for his role as the high school misfit-turned vampire “Evil Ed” in the horror film “Fright Night.” He also appeared in “Fraternity Vacation” (1985) and the critically acclaimed drama “At Close Range” (1986), co-starring with Sean Penn. He continued his film career with roles in “976-EVIL” (1988) and “Moon 44” (1990).

After a period of appearing in gay adult films under the aliases “Sam Ritter” and “Stephan Bordeaux” throughout the 1990s, Geoffreys returned to mainstream acting. He made his comeback to horror in 2007 with a supporting role as Mr. Putski in the independent film “Sick Girl,” after an almost nine-year absence. He subsequently took on a lead role in the horror film “Do Not Disturb” and appeared in “Emerging Past.” In 2015, he attended the Mad Monster Party, appearing in his “Evil Ed” costume.
