Blood and Steel (1925)
The character’s name is Steele, but in the title they spell it Steel. They were classier back in the 1920s.
Character(s):
Gordon Steele (William Desmond)
Cold Steel (1921)
Character(s):
Steele Weir (J.P. McGowan)
Every Silver Lining (1993)

If this show had ever done a crossover with The Love Boat, they could have called it Every Silver Lining Has McLeod.
Character(s):
Nat Silver (Andrew Sachs)
Shirley Silver (Frances de la Tour)
Lorraine Silver (Sarah Malin)
Flower & Garnet (2002)
This one’s iffy. Does the phrase “flower and garnet” have a preexisting meaning? It doesn’t seem to. Further research is required.
Character(s):
Flower (Jane McGregor)
Garnet (Colin Roberts)
Remington Steele (1982)
TV series
If Pierce Brosnan married Hawkeye Pierce, what would you do about it?
Character(s):
Remington Steele (Pierce Brosnan)
Shattered Glass (2003)
The jury’s still out on whether this belongs here, because Stephen Glass is a real person. Hmm.
Character(s):
Stephen Glass (Hayden Christensen)
Steele Justice (1987)
Probably the least memorable of the mid-1980s plethora of “Vietnam vets, back in action” movies.
Character(s):
John Steele (Martin Cove)
Stone Cold (1991)
1991: Vanilla Ice in Cool as Ice. Hulk Hogan in Suburban Commando. Brian Bosworth in Stone Cold. Was there an actors’ strike or something?
Character(s):
Joe Huff/John Stone (Brian Bosworth)
The Glass House (2001)
This is one of those movies that HBO must only have to pay about $11.50 to air, because it’s on all the time. Now, I like a good Leelee Sobieski vehicle as much as the next guy, which is to say: not at all. But there’s something captivating about Stellan Skarsgård’s performance, a bold feat of scenery-chewing I would not have believed a Swedish man capable of.
Character(s):
Terrence ‘Terry’ Glass (Stellan Skarsgård)
Erin Glass (Diane Lane)
