  1. Jeffrey is a very talented man and he and his lovely wife Brooke are two of the nicest people you’d ever meet. So congrats to him and hopefully he makes the leap!

  2. Jeffrey also directed several blocks of Neighbours back in the early noughties, which I believe is where his directing career began. I remember seeing him credited as a Film Victoria Director’s Attachment.

  3. He certainly has come a long way from the childrens shows which i used to watch in the 90s. Hopefully he can become successful as some of our actors in the states.

  4. That is a great news item – he has been a truly remarkable success story – child actor, turns industry player, and now on the international stage. It has been great to watch his career trajectory. Congrats to Jeffrey.
