Stevens has had supporting roles in dozens of films throughout his long career. Most notable among these is the 1956 science fiction classic Forbidden Planet. Star Trek: The Next Generation guest actors George D. Wallace and William Boyett also had roles in the film.
One of Stevens' earliest films was 1951's The Frogmen, in which he co-starred with Jeffrey Hunter, the man who was to originally star in the original Star Trek. Fellow TOS guest actor James Gregory also appeared in this film. Stevens would co-star with Hunter again the following year for the film Red Skies of Montana, which also featured Lawrence Dobkin. That same year, Stevens and fellow TOS guest actor Davis Roberts appeared in the film Phone Call from a Stranger.

Stevens was also among many Trek alumni to appear in the 1968 film Madigan. Others who appeared in this film include Michael Dunn, Steve Ihnat, Lloyd Haynes, Gloria Calomee, and Albert Henderson.
Including his lone appearance on Star Trek, Stevens has made more than 150 television guest appearnces, including stints on The Twilight Zone and Mission: Impossible. He was also a regular performer on The Richard Boone Show (1964-65), and, along with Julie Parrish and John Hoyt, was a part of the original cast of Return to Peyton Place (1972-74). In 1981, Stevens and Joanne Linville were regulars on the short-lived series Behind the Screen.
In 1979, he was part of the cast of the TV mini-series The Rebels, as were Kim Cattrall, Paul Fix, and Nehemiah Persoff. The following year, he co-starred with the late Madge Sinclair in a TV movie called High Ice.
Stevens was friends with the late Kenneth Tobey, who appeared in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "Shadowplay".
