Jeffrey Carlson

Jeffrey Carlson (born June 23, 1975 in Long Beach, California) is a Broadway, film, television actor and singer, best known for his role as the transgender Zarf/Zoe on the long-running daytime soap opera All My Children.[1]

Carlson debuted on Broadway in Edward Albee's The Goat or Who is Sylvia? in 2002[2] and also appeared in the Broadway revival of Tartuffe in 2003. He later appeared in the short-lived Boy George Broadway musical Taboo in 2003 and 2004.[2] He was nominated for the 2004 Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Featured Actor in a Musical for the role of Marilyn in Taboo. In 2005, he had a small role as Egon in the Will Smith romantic comedy Hitch.

In August 2006 he appeared in a day role on All My Children, as a British rock star named Zarf. In late November 2006, he returned to the role. In the course of the storyline, Zarf was revealed to be a transgender woman named Zoe, who also happened to be a lesbian.[1] All My Children won a GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Daily Drama in 2007 for this storyline.

Carlson studied acting at the University of California Davis and graduated with a B.A in Dramatic Art. Classically trained at Juilliard, he has also appeared in the title role of Lorenzaccio at the Shakespeare Theatre Company in Washington, D.C. and returned in June 2007 to play Hamlet.[3]

His mother named him Jeffrey because she was a fan of All My Children and of the character Jeff Martin on the show.
