When you're watching the movies, you'll be able to tell exactly which role Steven would have been perfect in, lead or supporting. I'm also a big watcher of independent films and so there are many of those, which I won't even begin to list, that he would have been good in too.
Steven was such an amazing actor because he was in touch with all sides of himself; his dark side, light side, comedic side, and deeply passionate side. He had a great sensitivity and a unique rhythm as an actor, which he would tap into and adjust, from role to role. I can only imagine what movie/TV/stage projects he would have gone on to act in, direct & produce!
I'll definitely be editing/adding to this list, as I do with all of my posts, since I often think of more things after the fact.
Thanks for reading.
Also starring: OneMeditator
