Jerry Levine (born March 12, 1957) is an American actor and director, perhaps best known for his role as Rupert 'Stiles' Stilinski in the feature film Teen Wolf.

Career

His career started as an actor on the TV show Charles in Charge in 1984, before moving into films as well, with his debut in 1985's Teen Wolf alongside Michael J. Fox. He starred in the ensemble TV drama The Bronx Zoo, but the series only lasted one season, 1987–88. Other films include Iron Eagle (1986), K-9 (1989), and Oliver Stone's Vietnam feature Born on the Fourth of July (1989).

Levine later found acting roles restricted to television. He starred in the 1990-91 sitcom, Going Places with Heather Locklear. He appeared in numerous series including Boy Meets World, Chicago Hope, Seinfeld, Monk and Will & Grace. In the Seinfeld episode "The Big Salad", Levine plays a creepy stationer who sells Elaine pens while also trying to seek her affections in a stalker-like way.

Levine would change the path of his career by becoming a director, returning to TV series such as Boy Meets World, Chicago Hope, Monk and Everybody Hates Chris. He has also directed episodes for the FX sitcom It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

In 1994, Levine produced and directed a Met Theater stage production of the one-act play Sticks & Stones, the first produced work by screenwriters Drew McWeeny and Scott Swan.
