Although born in Canada, Stephen finished his studies at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts at just 21 years of age.
Stephen’s career started in 1970 with the role of Artie Mason in the film “The People Next Door”, and he slowly built a name for himself in the early and mid- ‘70s, including with his portrayal of James Dean in the television film of the same name in 1976, which showcased his talent, not to mention that his net worth reached new highs.
Stephen continued honing his skills with roles in such accomplishments as the crime-drama film “Moving Violation” (1976), then “Tomorrow Never Comes” (1978), and the TV mini-series “Centennial” (1978-1979). Seeking to carry the momentum into the early ‘80s, Stephen starred in the horror thriller “Death Valley” in 1982, with Catherine Hick, and Paul Le Mat, but any major appearance worth mentioning just eluded him during the ‘80s, except for appearing in the TV series “Beauty and the Beast” as Gabriel, through 1989 and 1990.
In 1993 Stephen’s career experienced a revival with the lead role in the television film “Life with Billy”, next to Nancy Beatty and Deb Allen, while in the same year he also featured in the historical drama film “Geronimo: An American Legend”, starring Jason Patric, Gene Hackman and Robert Duvall, and then from 1998 until 2000 he played Jimmy Murray in the TV drama series “Emily of New Moon”, and from 1999 until 2001 portrayed Sgt. Frank Coscarella in the TV series “Cold Squad”, both helping increase his net worth,
Moving on to the 2000s, Stephen played Burt Holloway in the Golden Globe Award- nominated romantic comedy “Secretary”, starring James Spader, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Jeremy Davies, while in 2005 he was Leland in the Academy Award- nominated thriller “A History of Violence”, directed by David Cronenberg and starring Viggo Mortensem, Maria Bello and Ed Harris. In the same year he played Dick Irvin in the biopic about Maurice “The Rocket” Richard, entitled “The Rocket”, increasing his wealth by a large margin.
The following year, he had a rather memorable role in the sci-fi drama “The Fountain”, and in 2009 secured the lead role in the horror “Pontipul”, and continued with the successful role of Hollis Mason in Zack Snyder’s “Watchmen” the following year, but then had to wait until 2013 for his next successful accomplishment, the horror thriller “Haunter”, starring Abigail Breslin, Peter Outerbridge and Michelle Nolden, with Steven being nominated for a Chainsaw Award in the category Best Supporting Actor. The same year, McHattie played Samuel Beckett in the drama film “Meetings with a Young Poet”, which also increased his net worth.
Stephen then featured in the high-production film “Born to be Blue” in 2015, with Ethan Hawke, Carmen Ejogo and Callum Keith Rennie, a biopic about a short period of life and works of one of the jazz legends, Chet Baker. This added a substantial amount to Stephen’s net worth and brought him back to the top of the acting scene. The same year he starred in the drama “Pay the Ghost”, also starring Nicolas Cage, while in recent years he played P.T. Westmorland in the TV sci-fi drama series “Orphan Black” (2017), and is working on several films scheduled for release in 2018, including “Dreamland” and “Crown and Anchor”.
