Biography

The 'Barney Fife' (bumbling deputy) of JAWS

During the opening credit sequence of "Hollywood Boulevard", as the main character is walking down the boulevard the credits appear on the screen, and when Kramer's name shows up, there is, visible in the background, a poster of "Jaws" in a window in which, the year before, he had an important role.

As a theatre actor in Martha's Vineyard, he got his big break when the Jaws production team was sourcing locals for roles in the film.

The first name of his character Deputy Hendricks in Jaws actually changes between the original and the sequel. In Jaws, Hendricks' first name is "Lenny", however in Jaws 2, he's called "Jeff".

Attended Ithaca College.
