Jeff Albertson was born in Bloomington, IN, in 1963. After serving 8
years in the Navy as a pilot rescue swimmer, deep-sea diver, and
survival Instructor, he attended Indiana University. At college he
majored in Physical education, as well as working for the University
Police Dept. Jeff became interested in acting after doing a community
theatre production of "Rumors" by Neal Simon. Originally doing the play
as a lark with his oldest daughter, Jeff was soon bitten by the acting
bug. 14 plays later he had the opportunity to do some featured extra
work for the film "The Dark Knight". A natural and very physical actor,
Jeffs military experience, athletic background (he played semi-pro
football, went to a world championships in power lifting, competed in
strongman, highland games, as well as sprint-ironman distance
triathlon) helped give him a leg up for parts in various professional
productions. Acting and stunts have now been a passion of his,
culminating in working 26 episodes of the Emmy award winning Showtime
original series "Homeland", as actor, stuntman and stand-in for Damian
Lewis. The 2014 film America employed Jeff to serve as stunt double for
George Washington ( John Coopman).
Jeff lives in Bedford Indiana, with his wife. He has four grown children, and one granddaughter.
