    Drug addict...that's all I can say.

    I'm not trying to sound harsh...but no one's fault but his.

    Having said that...I do hope he bounces back...and somehow gets his act together...he's way too old to being dependent on drugs...prescription or otherwise.

      He should'a never left TAXI. Typecast-yep, but who isn't? Plus steady work would have kept him busy until he wound up on Babylon 5.

          I think he used to be married to Olivia Newton John's sister

            I'm sorry to say it but it was bound to happen sooner or later. It was a matter of time with him.

              That's just sad. I hope he recovers and gets his life together.

                Yes, Mikey, he was once married to Rona Newton-John, who is indeed Olivia Newton-John's Sister.
                Rona met Jeff while olivia was filming Grease.
                Rona married Jeff shortly after and divorced about 5 yrs later.

                P.s. I am not nick picking, but you forgot the - in her name.

                As you can tell, I am a huge Olivia fan and have had the Pleasure to meet her a few times.

                I hope he has a full recovery and returns to acting soon.

                  Sad but not unexpected.
                  I'm shocked he has made it to 60.

                        That's a real shame. Particularly since he seemed to bounce back with such a great regular character on Babylon 5 a decade ago.

                          Sad to hear this even though it's no surprise to anyone. I know when it comes to things like this it's brought on by doing illegal substances and they do it to themselves still my heart goes out to them and the people who love and care for them and are put through hell by their behavior. I just feel bad for someone like this, others who are so depressed they commit suicide or the person who is obese and has a heart attack. We all have our own demons, maybe I'm just too sympathetic. Just my own view and I'm not trying to debate how anyone else should feel so please don't think that.

                            Last time I seen him was on a late night infomercial maybe like 8 years ago.

                            He looked so bad (even back then)

                            If he does pull through I think he'll still eventually die from an overdose.

                            I don't think anything can help him -- he's just too far gone, imo
