Born and raised in southern New Jersey, actor/director Jeff Profitt decided that he wanted to become an actor after taking an acting class in high school on a whim. Growing up the oldest of three boys, Jeff played sports throughout his childhood with no desire to be in front of or behind a camera. However, after his first performance in front of his acting class he decided that acting is something he wanted to pursue. After high school Profitt started auditioning for commercials, television shows and films. In the spring of 1998 he was cast in his first on camera role in a small independent film. In the fall of that year he wrote, directed and stared in his first short film. Over the next few years he gained experience as an actor by being cast in commercials and independent films. Profitt studied filmmaking techniques from the directors while on the sets of these productions. Profitt built his producer/director resume with short films, music videos, commercials and television shows. Profitt now owns and operates 856 Films, an Independent Motion Picture production company.
