- Additional Crew
Actor, puppeteer, writer and voice-over artist, Jeffrey Breslauer was
born in the Bronx and raised in Levittown, Long Island. After
graduating with a degree in Broadcasting from Hofstra University, Jeff
began his performance career in New York in the mid-1970s. His
puppeteering work can be seen in "The Muppets Take Manhattan" and "The
Muppets at Walt Disney World." At EPCOT, in Walt Disney World, Jeff
played "The Dreamfinder," manipulating "Figment," the little dragon
star of "Journey into Imagination. He also voiced and manipulated the
"Spider" puppet mascot for Scholastic Publishers' video series of "Math
Place Programs" for first and second grades. His vocal talents have
been heard in commercials, industrials, TV shows, audiobooks and theme
parks as everything from a termite to a cartoon super hero. One of his
personal favorites was voicing "The Joker" for the Batman Stunt Shows
at Six Flags Amusement Parks. Jeff had the pleasure of adding over a
dozen voices to his audio repertoire when he performed the audio book
versions of Glenda C. Finkelstein's sci-fi novels, "The Edge of the
Universe", and "Nemesis Rising". He also voiced and narrated the
sci-fi/comedy audiobook trilogy "Cheese Runners", "Cheese Rustlers" and
"Cheese Lords" all written by Chris Jackson. Another special project
Jeff participated in is Sounds Abound© On All Hallow's Eve, a
spellbinding aural feast created with his partners at JMJ
Entertainment, Jeff Evans and Mark Priest. As a writer, Jeff is very
proud of his published children's book entitled, "Abner the Clown".
Brightly and brilliantly illustrated by Linda Campbell, the book tells
the tale of Abner as he relates to children, in rhyme, about his low
self-esteem. The picture book goes on to describe how Abner's friends
help him to be proud of himself, and that they love him for who he is.
In addition to performing on stage in such plays as "Breaking Legs",
with Frank Gorshin (TV's "Riddler"), Jeff's work has graced several
popular themed attractions in Orlando, Florida, including Walt Disney
World, Sleuths Mystery Dinner Theatre (as everything from a detective
to a maid to a stuttering florist), and Arabian Nights (as the Genie).
Jeff's on-screen work includes; "Police Academy V", "Matinee",
"Wiseguy", "Superboy", "Swamp Thing", the Showtime movie, "Trade Off",
the Mickey Rooney film, "Michael Kael vs. The World News Company",
"Doctor Who: A Survivor's Triangle", the HBO film, "Recount" starring
Kevin Spacey and Laura Dern, and, recently, playing a Russian bad guy
in the pilot episode of the new TV show, "Terminal Kill".
