Stephen T. Blackehart (born 1 December, 1967) is an American actor, author and producer.
Career
Blackehart attended the University of South Florida and later the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art, where he studied under Uta Hagen.[1] Blackehart is known for playing Benny Que in the cult classic film Tromeo and Juliet, though he has since acted in a mixture of B-movies (Retro Puppet Master,The Whisperer in Darkness) and mainstream fare alike (The Belko Experiment, Super, Guardians of the Galaxy).
In addition to his film work, Blackehart has acted in such TV series as Grey's Anatomy, The Big Apple, and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. He was a regular on the BBC's The Tromaville Cafe, where he originated the role of Felix, the French Trickster.
In 2004, Blackehart produced Jenna Fischer's mockumentary film LolliLove, and was among the first ever producers to make extensive use of social networking sites like MySpace to aggressively promote a feature film.[citation needed] It was subsequently picked up for distribution by Troma and garnered DVD Talk's distinction as a "Collector's Series" disc immediately upon its video release.[2] [3] It was also voted #2 by the editors of Amazon in their list of Best DVDs of the Year - Comedy, and completely sold out of all copies within the first day of release.[4]
In 2008 and 2009, he produced the comedy web series PG Porn and Humanzee! for filmmaker James Gunn.
In November 2014, he published a collection of novellas entitled A Stranger to the Darklands and Other Tales.[5]
Personal life
Blackehart is from Hell's Kitchen, New York.[citation needed] It has been reported that Blackehart was born as Stefano Brando and is the son of late actor Marlon Brando,[6][7][8] though Blackehart denies that he is related.[1][9]
