In the 2008 Guardian Media 100 (UK Media power list), Stephen was a new entry at 54.
(edit)
In 2002, Stephen won a SAG Award for Outstanding Performance by the Cast of a Theatrical Motion Picture for the movie Gosford Park.
(edit)
Stephen has endorsed the Money Advice Hub's new campaign to become "the most authoritative source of data relating to debt, credit and money advice in the UK", particularly in relation to mental health.
(edit)
Stephen was among the celebrities who responded to children at Oakwood Primary School in Leeds, asking for items they would otherwise have thrown away - his was a plastic dinosaur and a Hong Kong two dollar coin.
(edit)
In May 2008, it was announced that Stephen was to read the audio version of new Paddington Bear books.
(edit)
(when asked about his character in "Kingdom", who is single)
Stephen: I think the fact that I'm so well known to be gay makes it very difficult to have a convincing relationship with a woman on screen.
(he then went on to comment on people congratulating straight actors playing gay roles, and how the reverse is never true)
Stephen: It wouldn't be at all difficult for me to kiss a woman - I'll kiss a frog if you like. It's difficult to ride bareback backwards while unicycling, but to kiss someone isn't difficult. It's just part of the insanely irrational way that the human mind works. (edit) (on his partner Daniel Cohen's culinary skills)
Stephen: He is very good indeed: he does Simon Hopkinson's wonderful roast chicken, with his own variations; lamb with anchovy, which is very good. And I call him the world's premier saladeer: he is an incredible maker of salads and dressings. He'll find a pomegranate, carrot and a piece of bread and he'll somehow make a salad out of them that is just delicious. (edit) (on how to avoid getting physically bullied)
Stephen: Don't beat me up...I'll just get an erection. (edit) ((on filming a guest spot on "Bones)"
Stephen: My agent in America asked if I would do this series, Bones, which I have to confess I hadn’t heard of, but they sent round a DVD and I watched it and it seemed very charming. (edit) Stephen: QI isn't really about pointless information, or shoring up vast banks of trivia, It's about finding undiscovered connections and seeing hidden patterns, just like the best comedy. It ought to become a cherished institution - Have I Got News for You with added fibre - and looking at a bestseller list headed by Bill Bryson and Ben Schott, I have feeling it will find its level as their TV counterpart very quickly. After all, curiosity is hardwired in all of us; we just lose the ability to indulge it. (edit)
