Stories:

Stephen is back in L.A on Melrose Avenue, at his favorite newsstand. He's kicking it there, doing the Melrose thing, sitting on a box, looking at a porno magazine. His hair is dark brown. On the cover of PAPER magazine his hair is white. A girl sitting next to him keeps looking at the magazine and then at Stephen. She's not saying anything. It starts to get annoying.
Finally he says, "Hello? Can I help you?" and she says " What's your name?"
"Stephen."
"No it isn't."
"Yeah, it is."
"Are you an actor?"
"Oh no."
It goes on for days. "What's your last name?"
"Dorff. Stephen Dorff."

Stephen was at Jackie Coppola's dinner party one night up in Whitley Heights. Jackie's sister Sofia, video director Spike Jonze, Jefery Levy, who directed SFW, and his wife Pam were there. Stephen, whose other passion is Photography, was showing some of his recent work, everybody was chatting, dinner was being prepared. Stephen went to his car to get his camera. He felt something on his right foot that appeared to be a really beautiful black cat.
Then he noticed a white stripe on its tail. Stephen was sprayed point-blank by a skunk. He stood paralyzed in the front yard for ten minutes, smelling up the neighborhood. Once inside, Stephen got nauseous, ripped off his clothes, showered, and changed. An hour later, Stephen went to the set of an REM video to take photos.

FHM Article:

With characters, I like to have one thing that represents the guy to me, even if it's the simplest shit like a wife-beater. Clothes help. The whole look helps me with a character. Some movies are different--all in the head, and the clothes don't matter--I don't want anything to stand out. In Deuces, I wore these red contacts at the end of the movie, and they hurt like a bitch. We pretty much knew what those guys wore in the 50's.
Ever wear a speedo? No. That's funny, my girlfriend sent me my Christmas present in a Fed Ex box. On Christmas morning, I'm with my family and I'm opening my first present, and it's a blue snakeskin Speedo. My mom says, "Oh, it's really nice Stephen," and I say, "This is a joke, Mom. She knows I would never wear a Speedo." And my mom says, "No, I think she's serious. It's vey nice, you'd probably look great in it." I'm like, "Oh really? Why don't I try it on for you, Mom?" So I put it on and I walked around the house pouring eggnog for my grandmother.

Himself:

"It's just how I am. I'm to be me as honestly as possible. People sometimes keep things to themselves in order to be polite but that's a form of lying. If something comes into my head I'll say it. That means people think I'm the most arrogant actor around. I don't care as long as I'm saying what I truly feel and believe."

"I care very much about how I present myself visually. I'm really into photographs and I've made my own films. In photo's I'd hate to do something boring like actors do. The shots have to reflect my personality."

"I like to think so. Deep down, I'm a very sensitive guy. I don't mean to project a tough exterior all the time. I think you have to get very close to me before you start to seeing my vulnerable side."

Fans:

"If you're too nice, it can be a trap. They'll start showing up every day."

Family/Past:

"I have a younger brother, Andrew, who's 19. He's a great-looking kid. He's built like a football player."

"His name is Andrew Dorff, and he's 25. He writes very good songs. His CD comes out this summer. He's a real good singer, has a real distinctive voice. He's kind of like a young Bob Dylan. He actually really wrote one of the songs on his record. It's kind of cool... let me fix that. I wrote one of the songs on the record. I wrote the music, he wrote the words. I write lyrics sometimes, but Andrew is better."

"I had an obsession with Spider-Man for a few years," says Dorff, 25. "When I was real young, I had a Spider-Man costume. I put it on every day after school. But I don't know if I would be right to play Spider-Man in a movie."

His Work:

"I want to make people feel something."

"I did JUDGMENT NIGHT, but I not really proud of it," (he once told a reporter it was so stupid he could have "phoned in the fucker.")

"Obviously, if I'd gotten it, I would have been on a different path. But when you do a movie that makes a billion dollars, it's a scary thing because what do you do next?" (on Titanic)

"Vampires to me have always been very sexy," he said. "The way they look. The eternal youth thing - living forever - and getting whatever you want. It's always exciting to play someone who's dark, who you almost want to like, but who you want to be afraid of - that's a cool thing to do as an actor."

Other Comments From Stars:

"I wouldn't date Dorff for all the money in the world. I really admire the girls who do hold Dorff's attention. I don't know if it's because he doesn't know what he wants, or that he knows exactly what he wants and if that person doesn't apply, he's going to find it somewhere else. You have to be comfortable giving him space. I'm not that kind of girl."
-- Resse Witherspoon

Rumors:

"Yeah, I'm fucking Michael Strip and Giorgio Armani too. I've impregnated Bridget Hall, and I married Liv Tyler."

Girls:

"I run into her [Courtney Wagner] at Grandville. It's a strip club but it's not; it's more of a nightclub with exotic dancers. I'll run into Courtney there, but I don't want to talk to her in a club; it's too personal so I'll walk away."

Memorable Interviews:

AOL CHAT w/ StarsEchos (The Dorff Project)

"Frankie is really a good guy. He's very professional, and it was nice to see him in a movie like this. He has been trying to do different things. And I didn't realize the success he's having with 'Malcolm in the Middle' at that time, but I really enjoyed working with him."

Starsecho asks:
Question: You've worked on a lot of films recently, some of which won't be out for a while. Of these, which would you consider your favorite and why?
Stephen Dorff: I'm looking forward to... I like 'Deuces Wild.' And there's a movie coming out September or October, it's still being finished. It's called 'Steal,' but the title might change. Basically, it's kind of an action movie with a lot of humor -- some crazy stuff that I don't think people have seen before.

Starsecho asks:
Question: What was different about working on a soundstage versus flying away somewhere exotic?
Stephen Dorff: I like working in different locations far away from Los Angeles when I make a movie. I'm not big on soundstages. Although, when you work on a stage you have more control, so sometimes you have to.
