Acting

Image:Frost dorff.gif Born in Atlanta, Georgia, USA to a Jewish father (composer Steve Dorff) and a Christian mother, Dorff was raised in Los Angeles, where his father worked as a film composer. Stephen started acting in television, doing guest roles. He appeared in shows such as Diff'rent Strokes, Roseanne, Married With Children, Blossom and some television movies like In Love and War, I Know My First Name Is Steven, A Son's Promise, Do You Know The Muffin Man? and What A Dummy.

Today, he is most famous for his part as the evil vampire Deacon Frost in the horror movie Blade (1998). (Even though he has worked as an actor for over 20 years.) Blade was the third most successful movie in 1998. For research on the movie Blade, Dorff went to goth and vampires clubs. He stated that he didn't like it. Fans of horror movies may remember him from The Gate (1987) (his first major film.) Dorff also played the role of drag queen Candy Darling in I Shot Andy Warhol (1996), a film about Valerie Solanas, the woman infamous for shooting pop-art icon Andy Warhol. He had to shave his legs and wax his eyebrows to play the part. In 1996 he starred in the movie Space Truckers (1996), which was considered to be the worst movie ever. It is said that he is most proud of the movie Backbeat (1994) "and not so proud of" Judgment Night (1993). He was also one of the first actors to make a digitally downloadable movie, Quantum Project.

Dorff appeared in over 35 music videos. He starred in Rollin' by Limp Bizkit and just recently starred in the video to Britney Spears' 2004 single Everytime.
