Biography
Youthful character actor Fisher Stevens was first seen on Broadway at age 19 in
Harvey Fierstein's Torch Song Trilogy; he followed this with a plum role in
Neil Simon's Brighton Beach Memoirs. Stevens' film resumé includes
The Flamingo Kid (1984),
The Boss' Wife (1986),
Reversal of Fortune (1990), and
The Marrying Man (1991). During what may turn out to be the most highly publicized period in his life, Stevens was once the Significant Other of actress
Michelle Pfeiffer. Stevens is familiar to most filmgoers, however, for his role as malaprop-laden Indian technical whiz Ben Jabituya in the two
Short Circuit films of the late '80s. In the 2000s, Stevens found new success on the other side of the camera, as a prolific producer of both independent and mainstream Hollywood films. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
