He was cast in Clint Eastwood's return to westerns, "Pale Rider" when
Chris Penn, originally cast as Eddy Conway wanted a meaner role of a
bad guy, and Clint moved him from the role of Eddy Conway to the role
of Josh LaHood. Chuck LaFont, originally set to play Teddy, was then
moved to play Eddy Conway, and Jeffrey took over as Teddy Conway.
