JEFF OETJEN

JEFF OETJEN...(Improvisation) -   Jeff happily returns to the New York acting community after an extended stay in Los Angeles, where he appeared in numerous television commercials and TV guest appearances including Bud Light, MacDonald's, Black & Decker, V-8 Juice, Nutragrain Cereal and Coors Light, as well as a favorite appearance on "Seinfeld" in the season finale of the "show about nothing" While in Los Angeles Jeff discovered a love for improvisation from studying and performing with The Groundlings Theater. He credits improvisation and the freedom and confidence it gave him to the success he enjoyed while in L.A. Since returning to New York Jeff has appeared in TV commercials for The American Egg Board, Burger King, Humana Healthcare, AOL and Microsoft's X-Box. Improvisation, as an exercise is applicable to the career of every actor, every day!

Personal Philosophy: Improvisation, if broadly and consistently refined, can empower a person with certain skills, including problem solving, flexibility, working as a team and probably most important, listening. All of these skills, ultimately, are directly applied to the wondrous process we call "the audition". It's also a hell of a good time and very unpredictable.
