Biography

Career

Born Stephen Geoffrey Miller in Cincinnati, Ohio, Geoffreys first began acting on the stage. 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.

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."

Geoffreys returned to horror as "Mr. Putski" in the independent film "Sick Girl", released in October 2007, after an almost 17 year absence from the big screen. [ [http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/news/8903 BD Horror News - Stephen Geoffreys Returns to Horror! First Pics!!! ] ]
