Biography |
Jeff Branson is an American actor born March 10, 1977 in St.
Louis, Missouri, who is best known for his role on the ABC
soap opera All My Children.
Branson originated the role of Jonathan Lavery on June 15,
2004. Although he was off the air from mid-April until
August of 2005 while his character was believed dead in an
explosion, Branson remained on contract the entire time.
Since that time, it has also been revealed that the source
of Jonathan's past violent and psychotic behavior was a
combination of mis-prescribed anti-psychotic drugs and a
malignant brain tumor, which has recently been removed. As a
result, Jonathan's personality became child-like and highly
emotional, until he later regained his adult mind and
faculties as the result of a severe seizure during the week
of June 12, 2006. As part of ABC's Fan February events in
2007, Branson switched places with a fan who is a tattoo
artist in DeKalb, Illinois.
Branson's work prior to All My Children included a 2000
guest spot on NBC's Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. He
had a small part that year in the film Shaft. In 2002, he
was in the film Wolves of Wall Street. In 2003, he played
the role of a younger Alan Spaulding on the CBS soap opera
Guiding Light.
He can be seen in the film Four Lane Highway as the
character of Andy and appears in the Ishai Setton movie The
Big Bad Swim, filmed during his 2005 AMC hiatus, as the
character Noah.
In 2005, Branson received a Daytime Emmy Award nomination in
the category of Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama
Series for his work on All My Children as Jonathan. |
