Biography:Most of actor Stephen Elliot's film credits were piled up after he reached the age of fifty. The best of these include "Hospital" (1971), "Death Wish" (1974), "The Hindenburg" (1978) and "Taking Care of Business" (1988). Elliot was cast as Jill Eikenberry's bullying millionaire father in "Arthur" (1981), in which he pummeled prospective son-in-law Dudley Moore to a pulp when Moore balked at the altar; he repeated this ham-fisted characterization in "Arthur 2, On the Rocks" (1985). Stephen Elliot's acting contributions to television include patriarch Benjamin Lassiter on Beacon Hill (1975), Jane Wyman's ex-husband (not "Ronald Reagan") on Falcon Crest (1981-82), and several years in the role of Paul Ailey on the daytime drama Love of Life. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
