Born in Solomonville, Arizona, Stevens began his career during the silent era, playing mostly Native Americans and Mexicans in Westerns. During the 1930s and 1940s, he had roles in the film serials Wild West Days and Overland Mail. In the 1950s, Stevens guest-starred on several television series, including The Adventures of Wild Bill Hickok, The Adventures of Kit Carson, Sky King, The Lone Ranger, Zorro, and The Adventures of Rin Tin Tin. In two of those appearances in The Adventures of Rin Tin Tin, in 1954 and 1958, he played his grandfather Geronimo.
He made his last onscreen appearance in the film The Outsider (1961), starring Tony Curtis.
Stevens died on August 22, 1964 and is buried in an unmarked grave.
