Biography

Jeffrey Roth is a New York City-based, award-winning actor working across film and theater. He is drawn to grounded, off-center characters-men who are intelligent, wounded, unpredictable, darkly funny, or quietly dangerous. Whether playing a best friend with sharp edges or a bully hiding fragility, Jeffrey specializes in layered performances that feel lived-in and unsettlingly real.

He recurs on Danny Will Die Alone (Amazon Prime) and has lead multiple independent features and shorts, including Fraudulent Conversion (Coreline Productions) and Good Boy (Nice Hog! Productions), for which he received festival awards and nominations respectively for Best Actor. He can also be seen in lead and supporting roles on The Millers (Amazon Prime) and Timelapse (Amazon Prime). His work often centers on morally ambiguous outsiders and complicated white-collar weirdos-characters who oscillate between charm and volatility.

Rooted in theater and sharpened by screen work, Roth brings precision, emotional intelligence, and an undercurrent of tension to every role. Casting directors consistently respond to his specificity: performances that feel spontaneous yet controlled, strange yet human.
