As an actor, singer, writer, producer, and Managing Director of BIGCATPRODUCTIONS, Jeffery's experience covers many facets of the entertainment industry.

As an actor, Jeffery began his career over 20 years ago, and although appearing in a few plays at the minor age of seven, it wasn't until later, after a heavily sports filled youth that he finally found his feet once again in his true vocation.

With a disciplined outlook and a dogged determination, Jeffery soon forged out a career in the entertainment industry, covering both stage and screen. Some of his acting credits in these arenas are: RUSH, Blue Heelers, Stingers, Mission Impossible, Neighbours, The Big Steal, Exit, Faith is Red, Servus, 12-ish, Ribbons, Serenity, On The Town, The White City Fix, In Between Seasons, The Coat, Play Dead, The Lovers, City Of Angels amongst many others.

As a writer, Jeffery more or less stumbled into this vocation whilst playing the part of Stine in the 1996 Musical production of, City of Angels.

Like most diligent actors, Jeffery began doing character research for his part, which in this case involved writing. As he moved through his characters journey and began to get a feel of what it was like to actually write something, he had no idea that he was on his way to writing his first play, called, Stations.

In early 1997, wanting to complete the full journey with his newly finished piece, Jeffery decided to produce and play one of the leads in this play. To his surprise, Stations went on to play to full houses and was placed at the top of the "A List" in The Age, for the best theatre production to see in Melbourne at that time…. And to an even a greater surprise, Stations later on that year went on to win 4 awards from the Victorian Drama League.

Since then Jeffery has continued to act, write and produce, completing numerous full length stage and screen pieces, as well as many songs and background scoring for the various projects... and is very grateful to be doing what he loves.
