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.

Though he played Kenickie in the movie version of Grease (1978), he appeared in the Broadway production as Danny Zuko.

While filming Grease (1978), had to walk slightly stooped so John Travolta would appear taller.

Appeared in an episode of "Murder, She Wrote" (1984) ("Birds of a Feather") as an Off-Broadway actor from New York who had been "mostly a cab driver" - a reference to his role in the TV series, "Taxi" (1978).

Saw an episode of "Babylon 5" (1994) 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.

Is a grandfather (grandson born January 1997). (Admitted this on NBC's "Later with Greg Kinnear" (1994), July 6/98, with guest host Rita Sever).

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.
