Speaking about his role in Groundhog Day, Stephen said he was very proud of the movie, despite its challenges.
"I'm very proud of Groundhog Day...because it wasn't easy," he explained.
"It was a battle to create the show that it was. After the first week, Harold Ramis got with Danny Rubin, our writer, and he says, 'What's the story we're really telling here?' Are we going to have a series of sequences where Bill just has no consequences and acts crazy, like he was doing in all of those movies back then, or are we telling the story about, what is the time of our life, and how do we use it?"
He continued: "... We were getting new pages every day; it was like guerilla theatre, doing Groundhog Day.

"And in a way, that either leads to disaster, or leads to something brilliant. In terms of Groundhog Day it led to something just brilliant, what Harold Ramis and Danny Rubin did."
Most recently, Stephen starred in holiday movie, Candy Cane Lane alongside Eddie Murphy.
He's also set to return to star in the Freaky Friday 2 movie as Mr Bates.
