John Steiner

1941 – 2022 · Chester, Cheshire, England, UK · Active 1956–2014

John Steiner, born in 1941 in Chester, is an English actor who carved out a niche in Italian exploitation cinema. After training at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts, he found success in Italy, specializing in villainous roles in films like Salon Kitty (1976) and I Don't Want to Be Born (1976). His tall, gaunt presence made him a memorable figure in the genre, as he navigated the gritty landscapes of films such as Waves of Lust (1975) and Deported Women of the SS Special Section (1976). Steiner's work in these cult classics continues to resonate with fans of grindhouse and exploitation cinema.
