Jeff Hiller Acting Reel from Jeff Hiller on Vimeo.

Jeff Hiller is a funny guy. You may have seen a few of his videos posted on our site and you’ve probably seen him in a commercial/flick. He’s an old friend of ours and we preach his message as often as possible. He not only has the chops but he’s paid his dues. Check out his webpage at hillertime.com and spread the word.
