Biography

    • Toronto-based Jeff was born and raised in a small Canadian town. After years of being the lead singer/bassist in The Life, an award-winning band, he got the acting bug. He began slowly building his career on camera while his voice career exploded. In 2006 he was the Voice of the Olympics for Canada; a role he would reprise in 2014. He has also played characters in popular animation and video games such as Far Cry, Splinter Cell and Resident Evil. After a year long hiatus from on camera when he was the voice of Canadian Broadcaster CBC and FIFA's World Cup he came back with a vengeance with roles on Beauty and the Beast, Played, Suits and others. In 2015 he nabbed the role of Lieutenant Anders on SYFY's hit "Dark Matter". Watch for Jeff in SYFY's 12 Monkeys in Season 2 along with other movies, shows and video games. Jeff won the Jim Russell Racing School Scholarship in 1996. Though his favorite sport is MotoGP, you can usually find him on weekends at the cottage, or digging for fossils. He is a massive fan of paleontology, science and history.
