Jeff Hiller is a former social worker and currently an actor and comedian. He is seen in both the musical theatre scene of NYC (Silence!, The Children, SLUT) and the underground comedy scene performing at the UCB Theatre (Creep, PCR, Showgirls: The Best Movie Ever Made. Ever). Jeff has been seen on TV as a series regular on MTV’s Boiling Points and Fuse’s "The P.A.". He played a gay prostitute in the TV show "Starved", a gay tailor on "Guiding Light" and was the voice of Nano, the confused Robot on "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles". He has been seen in many commercials including as a German Shepherd in Tina Fey’s AMEX spot, and as the Pilgrim in the Snickers FEAST! campaign. Jeff almost crapped his pants when in one year, he worked with Ricky Gervais (as the Naked Guy in "Ghost Town") and with Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin (as a clueless desk clerk on 30Rock). Upcoming: "Adam" (with Hugh Dancy) and the world premiere of "Emmett Otter's Jugband Christmas" (at the Goodspeed Opera House, in association with the Jim Henson Company). Jeff has legs to die for and a huge freaking mouth (literally as opposed to figuratively).

So ya, everyone else is talking about it...tehe, but anyway
Yes I just saw ghost town...and I have to say, when I saw your not more than a few minute two parts (if I'm correct) I literally decided that you were my favorite person in the wholeee movie. Not sure why, I do it all the time...something just strikes my fancy about an actor. So ya, your little bit was probably more funny that the rest of the movie combined (for me at least) XD
OH MY GOODNESS ... I saw a naked guy in Ghost Town and he looked like you. OH wait... it was you!!!! and your name is in the credits and everything. So why were you naked? it never said. really awesome movie btw.
I have a bone to pick with you mister. I had no clue that you worked with THE Cameron Fry in Ghost Town. I love that guy. He's even better than Greg Kinear!
Loved the movie by the way. The whole TLU gang was there to see it. It was ironic b/c Chris Elley had just found out that his Ghost Town Documentary is up for a Texas Emmy. I feel good karma in the air for all my TLU pals. I'm thinking about going to a haunted house so the karma rubs off on me!
Greetings Jeff Hiller!:) Thanks for the add. Have a rocking week!and goodluck on your career and looking forward to seeing you in "Ghost town" movie. Keep it up!! Rock on, Helen ~the new haven
I hope Ghost Town comes to Charlotte.. It makes me giddy to see you in the trailer! And everytime I see a Snickers commercial, I smile to myself and think..Jeff just got paid! :) That is how it works, right? Thank you for staying in my life via commercials and Youtube vids :P Lovelove!
