VMAN issue #20 Fall/Winter 2010: Stephen Dorff

STEPHEN DORFF, the 37-year-old rebel actor and star of the forthcoming, much-hyped movie directed by Sofia Coppola called “Somewhere.” VMAN’s cover and inside spread features Dorff with a body rivaling a teenage athlete.  Dorff says he owes Coppola for the opportunity to renew his interest in the (acting) craft and continue to discover his art.  His mother died of brain cancer one year and one day before Sofia offered him the coveted role.
