His television career began in 1998 with the series *Hausmeister Krause*. In 2000, he starred as a lead actor in a feature film for the first time in Marc Rothemund’s comedy *Harte Jungs*. In 2001 and 2002, Stein made guest appearances in German television series such as *Der Fahnder* and *SK Kölsch*, and filmed TV movies and feature films including *Schule*, *Die Klasse von ’99*, *Feuer, Eis & Dosenbier*, and *Knallharte Jungs*. During this same period, he produced his first original comedy series for television, *Axel!*. In 2003, the series was further developed and subsequently aired under the title *Axel! will’s wissen*. This was followed by additional roles in feature films such as *Barfuss* (2005) and *7 Zwerge – Der Wald ist nicht genug* (2006). In 2007, he appeared in the film *Kein Bund für’s Leben*.

Starting in February 2013, he took on the lead role in the action-comedy film *Turbo und Tacho*—a spin-off of the hit series *Alarm für Cobra 11 – Die Autobahnpolizei*—in which he had previously appeared twice playing the same character. *Turbo und Tacho* served as the pilot film for a standalone television series; however, due to a lack of audience response, the series was never produced.
