Jeff Burton

Jeff was a smooth soul brother
D.O.B. - 1925
Profession - Actor
Qualification - Jeff played Dodge in Planet of the Apes (original) (he was killed and stuffed for museum display fairly early in the picture) as well as playing one of the Joker's henchmen in the Batman TV series named Shamrock (I think this was one of those double-minority characters "he's black and he's Irish! Think of the publicity!"). See, I told you, Jeffs are capable of anything, even escaping the clutches of Batman. POW, SOCK, BIFF, BOFF, Jeff has experienced both the sharp and the blunt ends of all the visual sound effects in the spectrum. Jeff has kicked Burt Ward's side-kick of an ass but, unsurprisingly, never got the best of Adam West. Nor owned a golden vest or passed his driving test. He was too evil for all that. (I actually have no idea whether or not Jeff passed his driving test, he is a Jeff though, so chances are he passed first time. I do, on the other hand, sincerely doubt that he owned a golden vest. It would be far too heavy to wear, and would probably itch like a bitch and be quite hard to stitch. I won't follow that one.) Jeff was also in the blaxploitation classic Coffy with Pam Grier. Jeff died on the 18th January, 1988.
