Life and 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. For this role won the Theatre World Award also in 1984.
Geoffreys appeared in several horror and teen films in the 1980s, most notably Heaven Help Us (1985) as well as Fraternity Vacation and 976-EVIL in 1989. He also played a supporting part in the critically-acclaimed drama At Close Range in 1986. 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.[1]
