Actif au cinéma principalement durant la période du muet, Roy Stewart contribue à cent-quarante films américains (dont de nombreux westerns), le premier étant un court métrage sorti en 1914.

De cette première période — notamment dans des films de la Triangle Film Corporation jusqu'en 1918 —, mentionnons The Medicine Man de Clifford Smith (1917, avec Ann Kroman), L'Éveil de la bête d'Arthur Rosson (1921, avec Betty Compson et Ralph Lewis) et Les Moineaux de William Beaudine et Tom McNamara (1926, avec Mary Pickford et Gustav von Seyffertitz).

Après le passage au parlant, il apparaît encore dans quelques films, les quatre derniers sortis en 1933 — année de sa mort prématurée à 49 ans, d'une crise cardiaque —, dont Révolte au zoo de Rowland V. Lee (avec Loretta Young et Gene Raymond).
