His parents belonged to the
Studio Players
of Upper Montclair, New Jersey, at which Geoffrey also began performing on stage and often running tech and/or doing productions' sound designs.
Geoffrey joined the famous community theatre as soon as he reached their minimum member age of 16, performing in countless plays before moving to southern California in the late 1990's.
Geoffrey also has experience with ADR, stand-in work (for Peter Firth), and photo doubling (for actor David Paymer).
Apart from doing background work, much of which being picture-picked and very featured, soon after moving to Los Angeles, Geoffrey acquired a commercial agent and, being used to auditioning and being naturally talented at cold reading, Geoffrey quickly had a very high call-back ratio.
For commercial casting directors, producers and directors: a full list of what commercials Geoffrey has done is
available on request
via his
commercial agent
(though it can be noted that most recently
[April 2008]
Geoffrey was the principal lead in a
McDonalds regional wild spot).
Having also done considerable work doing background for film and television projects, Geoffrey was selected as one of ten background artists interviewed and such for the heart-felt, four-time award winning feature documentary
Strictly Background.
As a principal, Geoffrey was directed by Roman Coppolla for a comical promo spot for the Game Show Network, which not only ran for over eighteen months, the popular spot won the
Cannes 2001 Lion Award and Promax Judge's Choice Recognition.
For that spot, titled Botulism, Geoffrey played a red-capped baker
(along with various others with whom he's intercut),
frustratingly shouting the correct answer at a television's quiz-show contestant, as though such would do any good.
As a Day Player in the episode
The Chosen
early in the final season of
The Practice
Geoffrey played opposite Sharon Stone.
Also having a lifelong interest in metaphysics and the paranormal, Geoffrey acquired the nickname "Badger" by many of his friends and online friends, the badger having turned out to be Geoffrey's Spirit Animal Totem.
According to native American lore, the tenacious badger is the Keeper of Secrets and the Teller of Tales; considering Geoffrey's ability for research and to find things on which other people have given up trying to locate, Geoffrey relates to the concept of being a "digger."
(Geoffrey also prefer it as a moniker as, as a name, the plosive word Badger is easier and "faster to hear," particularly in a crowded area, than the softer name Geoffrey.)
Hard-wired to be/work on sets, never married
(and currently between cats J ),
Geoffrey currently is domiciled in Hollywood.
