Acting
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 film Blade (1998) (even though he has worked as an actor for over 20 years.) 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). It is said that he is most proud of the movie
Backbeat (
1994) "and not so proud of"
Judgment Night (
1993).

Quantum Project, also starring
John Cleese.
Dorff appeared in over 35 music videos. He starred in Rollin' by Limp Bizkit and Britney Spears' 2004 single Everytime. In ShadowBoxer, he shows his penis.

May Andersen (July 2003 to April/May 2004). When she began dating
