[edit] Major work
Jeff Kober, a native of Billings, Montana, was born on December 18, 1953. Not satisfied with being a rancher, Kober relocated to the L.A. area in his twenties with the desire to become an actor. Kober is best known for his role as Dodger, the sensitive, battle-toughened Marine in the highly acclaimed Vietnam War drama China Beach and for the short-lived, but now cult horror series Kindred: The Embraced. Following these series, Kober has guested on some of the most popular television series of the day. They include Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Law and Order: Special Victims Unit, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, ER, 24, The Closer, and Criminal Minds. Currently he is appearing as Jacob Hale, Jr. in FX's popular series Sons of Anarchy.
Kober's film career includes roles in Out of Bounds, in which he played Roy Gaddis, a small-time drug dealer with murderous inclinations. This role led to more film opportunities in The First Power, Tank Girl, Defining Maggie, World Without Waves, and the 2007 remake of The Hills Have Eyes II. Kober has also appeared in several short independent films—the Academy Award winning Sessions Man and the 2007 Lucid, another film that has garnered a number of awards at independent film festivals across the country. He has done extensive stage work, most prominently as the father in Jenny Sullivan's autobiographical work J For J and Defying Gravity.
Kober is also a photographer and painter. He created the paintings attributed to his character Daedalus on Kindred: The Embraced. He is the co-author (with Adele Slaughter) of a book about how to succeed as a working artist called: "Art That Pays: The Emerging Artist's Guide to Making a Living."

Kober is twice divorced (Rhonda Talbot, Kelly Cutrone) and the father of one son. He also teaches Vedic meditation.
