Harvey Stephens

While Harvey Stephens is not known to the general public today, many horror fans may know him as the antichrist child Damien Thorn in the movie The Omen. He got the lead role due to him fulfilling the requirements of attacking the film’s director, Richard Donner, at his insistence. To prepare for the film, Stephens had to dye his blond hair to a dark brown. His seemingly innocent yet insidious performance made him famous worldwide and became a fixture of popular culture.

Today, Stephens is busy working as a property developer in England. He admits that acting wasn’t his forte, although he had a cameo appearance in the remake of The Omen in 2006 as a tabloid journalist. He also once owned a private security company until its assets and investments were liquidated in 2017. Judging but his words, it’s fair to say that the former child actor does not have any plans of returning to the spotlight.
