Biography
Most of actor Steven Keats' earliest film appearances were in such New York-based productions as 1974's
Death Wish (in which he played Jack Toby). It was in one such film, director
Joan Micklin Silver's
Hester Street (1975), that Keats was top-billed as Jake, the young progressive Jewish-immigrant husband of traditional old-world bride
Carol Kane. Other films to Keats' credit include the memorable
The Gambler (1974) and such forgettables as
Turk 182 and
Eternity. Steven Keats was also seen in the leading role of garment czar Jay Blackman on the 1977 TV miniseries
Seventh Avenue. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
