Steven Keats Biography

Most of actor Steven Keats' earliest film appearances were in such New York-based productions as 1974's Death Wish (in which he played Jack Toby). It was in one such film, director Joan Micklin Silver's Hester Street (1975), that Keats was top-billed as Jake, the young progressive Jewish-immigrant husband of traditional old-world bride Carol Kane. Other films to Keats' credit include the memorable The Gambler (1974) and such forgettables as Turk 182 and Eternity. Steven Keats was also seen in the leading role of garment czar Jay Blackman on the 1977 TV miniseries Seventh Avenue. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
