He appeared with the Royal Shakespeare Company, and worked with Ian Richardson on Broadway in 1965’s The Persecution and Assassination of Marat as Performed by the Inmates of the Asylum of Charenton Under the Direction of the Marquis de Sade.
Steiner was also in the 1967 film adaptation of that play for director Peter Brook. His career included roles in Stanley Donen’s 1967 film Bedazzled and Peter Hall’s Work Is a 4-Letter Word (1968).
