Draft:Jeff DuJardin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jeff DuJardin is an American actor and performer. He portrays the Marquis de Morès, the main villain in Season 1 of the television series Elkhorn.[1][2][3] According to Medium, DuJardin's character is a French financier who "uses his wealth, charm, and military mindset to rule the frontier."[1] In the series, Morès is the antagonist of Teddy Roosevelt in the Badlands of North Dakota.[4] Cowboys and Indians Magazine writes: "Speaking of battles: It doesn’t take long for TR to ruffle the feathers of Marquis de Morès (Jeff DuJardin), a powerful French-born landowner who views the new guy in town as [his] possible rival."[5]

DuJardin plays a leading character (Paul) in Silent Life: The Story of the Lady in Black, alongside Oscar-nominated actress Terry Moore[6][7]. Broadway World describes this character an "ambitious young reporter (Jeff DuJardin) [who] approaches [the Lady in Black] for a scoop on her true identity...and at the reporter's persistent beckoning, the Lady relents and the story of her fabulous relationship unfolds."[8]

Following the theatrical release of the film in Russia, DuJardin received attention and headlines from top Russian news sources, such as TASS and Kultura for his willingness to use art to bridge gaps between countries and that art should be able to exist outside of politics. He said: "I hope that this will be a film that will help bridge the differences between countries. You know, at the end of the day, we create art."[7][9][10]

DuJardin is the co-founder of Smart Songs, which several sources, such as ABC News Los Angeles, have described as the hip hop equivalent of SchoolHouse Rock[11][12]. According to the Huffington Post, DuJardin has performed for Smart Songs under the alias "Shoeless Jeff."[13]
