PORTRAIT
As
the youngest of Lloyd Bridges' two acting sons, Jeff made his debut on
the big screen at the tender age of four months in The Company She Keeps
(1950). From there on, this talented actor never looked back,
despite staying away from a possible child-acting career. However, he
was often seen in his dad's TV show "The Lloyd Bridges Show" in
the 60s.
His major breakthrough
came with prominent youth roles in success films such as
The Last Picture Show (1971) og
Thunderbolt and
Lightfoot (1974).
His charming good looks made him a youth icon in the 70s, and developed
into an alternative leading man in the 80s. Bridges has kept choosing
interesting roles throughout the 90s, and have maintained a good
reputation among the critics, without ever closing in on
superstar-status. Bridges has chosen roles from a wide variety, and has
in the later years portrayed everything from the American president (The
Contender)
to a bowler bum in the Coen-brothers'
The Big
Lebowski.
