“Backbeat”
In this 1994 film, which was under the direction of Iain Softley, is one that chronicles some of the earliest days in the Beatles career. The main focus of the film is the relationship present between Dorff’s character, Stuart Sutcliffe, and band front man, John Lennon. Since the production of the film, it has been turned into a stage production. During the filming of this, Dorff has made the joke that he “nailed” the English accent so well that many people began to think he was actually from this country.

“I Shot Andy Warhol”
This independent film was created in 1996 and highlighted the live of Valerie Solanas, and her famous relationship with iconic artist Andy Warhol. In this film, Stephen Dorff plays the role of superstar Candy Darling.
“Blade”
In this movie, you are emerged into a world where the earth is infected with evil vampires. Blade is the hero, who has the goal to get rid of all the vampire evil across the planet. In this movie, Dorff plays the role of a master of vampires, Deacon Frost, who was planning a huge surprise for the entire human race. This is one of his “bad” roles, which many say he played impressively.
“Somewhere Man”
This film was also created in 1994, after the afterglow of his very first role in “Backbeat” where he played the doomed-from-the-start Stuart Sutcliffe. At this point, Dorff did the same thing any other self-respecting actor would, moved to Chateau Marmont. This is when he was cast in the new film by Sofia Coppola, “Somewhere,” which many said Dorff was getting a “second chance” much like the character he plays in the film.
“Cecil B. DeMented”
This film could have only been thought up by the twisted mind of the well-known director John Waters. In this movie, you follow guerrilla moviemakers, who kidnap Melanie Griffith, who plays a movie goddess and force her to play the star role in the underground movie they are making. Stephen Dorff plays one of the demented movie-makers turned kidnappers in another one of his “bad boy” roles.
