Jeff Loftus has played many roles within the shires of Crossford and New Crossford. He has been a fairy, a brownie, a Viking, a farmer, an enthusiastically unemployed peasant, a tree spirit, a “haberdasher” doubling as the bodyguard of the Duke in secret, and, most recently, a king. Returning for his eleventh consecutive season, Jeff is incredibly excited to be portraying his first REAL human being: Jacob Grimm, eldest brother of the Brothers Grimm!

Outside of faire, Jeff is a Rutgers graduate, a cybersecurity analyst in the healthcare field, a wrestling fan, a member and director of the improv troupe, Trenton Makes Improv, an avid console gamer and achievement hunter, a rare vinyl collector, a juggler with over 10 years of experience, and a published writer. He is greatly looking forward to all of the new and exciting things this season will come to offer!
