In the news: Profile of Jeff Seymour of Jeff Ltd.
From Andrew Ryan of the Globe and Mail:
- Jeff Seymour
“On the successful homegrown series Jeff Ltd., the central figure of Jeff Stevens, as performed by veteran stage and TV actor Jeff Seymour, is entirely self-possessed, but somehow he’s still quite likeable. It’s a deft acting trick, considering that most of the character’s time is divided between chasing women and pursuing get-rich-quick schemes. As befits any classic TV character, Jeff invariably strikes out on both counts.”
