- While filming Grease (1978), had to walk slightly stooped so John Travolta would appear taller.
- Though he played Kenickie in the movie version of Grease (1978), he appeared in the Broadway production as Danny Zuko.
- Saw an episode of Babylon 5 (1993) on TV and liked it so much he went down to the production studio to see the show being filmed. He was spotted and used for a bit part, which grew into a recurring character and, eventually, a full-time role in the series.
- Having struggled with addiction for many years, Jeff had been trying to treat himself with pain killers and cold medicine in May, 2011. He was found unconscious in his home on May 11, 2011. He remained in a coma until his family terminated life support on May 27, 2011.
- Played guitar and sang lead as a teenager for a rock band called "The 3 1/2". The band released four singles for Cameo Records in 1966 and 1967, one of which was produced and written by Peter Noone of Herman's Hermits.
- [on his suicide attempts]: I've tried to commit suicide 21 times. Mostly, it's been with pills.
- [on leaving Taxi (1978)]: In 'Taxi,' I kept doing the same scene for three years. I was underused.
- [on Mickey Rourke's comeback]: Hollywood can be a very stinging town. They say it's a forgiving business. It's not that forgiving.
- [A 1981 interview, on Jesus Christ being the role that he would most like to play and why he felt that it did little for other actors' careers] That's because Jesus has never been played right. They always leave out that he was a man. I'm a Christian. I was brought up a Catholic. Then I began wondering and wandering. But I'm still a Christian.
