(On being asked what inspired him to be an actor)
Jeffrey: I loved the attention as a child and thought, "what a great way to make a living." (edit) Jeffrey: What would surprise a lot of people about me… I’m a gardener! I have a green thumb. I really like to get into the shrubs, the bushes, and really cultivate. (edit) (On what is his favourite role to date).
Jeffrey: It’d have to be this. I mean, in Burn Notice I get to play a spy, I get to be funny, I get to have hot chicks all around me. And I get to be really smart, which is a stretch, but I pull it off. (edit) Jeffrey: The most fun I’ve had on Burn Notice, I think it would have to be working with China Chow and Lucy Lawless. (edit) Jeffrey: Believe it or not, I don't own a TV. Crazy huh? I'm not a big movie-goer either. I just feel like I'm watching work. I am always outside and couldn't care less about what's on TV these days. (edit)
