Steve moved to Los Angeles,
where he made his film debut in the teen-aged slasher flick,
Sweet Sixteen - Blutiges Inferno (1983), opposite
Bo Hopkins. The following year, he broke all
of the girls hearts in the popular Cannon-produced film,
Die letzte amerikanische Jungfrau (1982),
alongside Lawrence Monoson. Roles in
Die Goonies (1985) and
Camp der verlorenen Teufel (1989), then led to
what should have been his big break, when he co-starred with
Jodie Foster and
Kelly McGillis in the Academy
Award-winning film,
Angeklagt (1988), as a fraternity
undergraduate involved in a bar room rape incident. He then appeared in
Sandra Bernhard's screen version of her
hit one-woman Broadway show,
Without You I'm Nothing (1990),
plus roles in the films Drive (1991),
It's My Party (1996) and the
romantic comedy-drama,
Zwei Singles in L.A. (1997).
Steve has also dabbled in writing and producing, starring opposite
Bo Hopkins once again and an all-star cast in
the independent film,
Der ganz normale Wahnsinn (1992).
Steve adapted the screenplay
Gloria (1999), starring
Sharon Stone and
George C. Scott from the 1980 version by
John Cassavetes.
