Stephen Geoffreys (born Stephen Geoffrey Miller; November 22, 1964) is an American actor.
In 1984, he was nominated for Broadway's Tony Award for "Best Performance by a Featured Actor in a Musical" for his performance in a play based on the The Human Comedy. Geoffreys appeared in a handful of horror and teen films in the 1980s, most notably Heaven Help Us (1985) as well as Fraternity Vacation and 976-EVIL in 1989. He is best known for playing the creepy "Evil Ed" in the campy 1985 vampire classic Fright Night starring Roddy McDowall, William Ragsdale, and Chris Sarandon. Two of Geoffrey's lines from that film became catch phrases in the mid '80's: "To what do I owe this dubious pleasure?" and "You're so cool, Brewster!" Some critics have suggested that Geoffrey's refusal to appear in the Fright Night sequel was a major career misstep.[1]
In 1990, Geoffreys dropped out of mainstream films and starred exclusively in gay porn, headlining twenty-eight films between 1990 and 1998 under the name "Sam Ritter." [2] He briefly retired from porn after his 1998 title "Quick Study: Sex Ed 1," but briefly came out of retirement to star in the 2002 film "Seaman Training Day," for which he used the name Stephan Bordeaux; as of 2007, this was his last foray into porn. Geoffreys generally played the part of the bottom. In the later part of his porn career he often appeared with a hat on even when otherwise totally nude, causing speculation that he was going bald. Current photos show that he is indeed bald.
Stephen Geoffreys returns to horror as "Mr. Putski" in the upcoming film Sick Girl after a nearly 17 year absence from the big screen. Sick Girl is completed and due to be released October 2007.[1][3]
