Not sure what to say?

thinking of you always! RIP

I worked with Jeff on Dangerous Minds. He came in as a recurring character, and we on the crew really liked him. He was courteous, funny and professional. And believe me, there are plenty of actors out here in LA who are none of those things. A guy like Jeff, well you just can't help but root for him. I would click his name on IMDB from time to time to see how his career was going. Tonight I've learned that he is gone and I am deeply, deeply sorry. My condolences to your family and your...

I miss you Cahill!

Our condolences to you,Josie,and your family. You are inour thoughts and prayers at this sad time.

I met Jeff when I played an Orphan in the film "Blues Brothers." I didn't know him by name until many years later when I moved to California and my friend Lawrence said "My friend Janeline is marrying an Orphan!"

"What does anybody want..I wanna be like Mike!!!" NYPD Blue, Jeff showed me how far off the radar an actor can go. Thank you Jeff.
