Career
He was living in Michigan at the time he procured his Social Security number. Jeffries served in the United States Army during the Korean War and was among only three survivors of his 177-man unit that landed in Inchon, South of Korea, in the fall of 1950, in a mass landing conducted by General Douglas MacArthur. From 1958 to 1960, Jeffries procured his first and most successful acting role, that of Skip Johnson, in all seventy-four episodes of the syndicated adventure television series Rescue 8, with co-star Jim Davis as Wes Cameron.
Davis was later cast as the indomitable Jock Ewing of Columbia Broadcasting System"s prime time soap opera Dallas.
In 1960, Jeffries and John McIntire, later of Wagon Train, guest starred in the episode "The Most Dangerous Gentleman" in the short-lived National Broadcasting Company western series, Overland Trail starring William Bendix and Doug McClure. Jeffries starred as Vibio in the foreign film, Louisiana Rivolta degli schiavi, or The Revolt of the Slaves, with Rhonda Fleming cast as Fabiola.
In the film, Fabiola gives the order that Vibio be whipped on the back. In a 1962 film, Alone Against Rome, or Vengeance of the Gladiator, Jeffries, in the role of Brenno, was again whipped on the back.
From 1964-1971, Jeffries appeared in nearly twenty films in France, Spain, the former West Germany, Italy, and Romania.
He played science fiction hero Perry Rhodan in Mission Stardust (1967). He made several Eurospy films such as Agente X 1-7 operación Océano (Italy, 1965), Z7 Operation Rembrandt (Germany-Italy, 1966), Spies Strike Silently (Italy, 1966), The Beckett Affair (France-Italy, 1966), Special Code: Assignment Lost Formula (Spain-Italy, 1966), The Killer Lacks a Name (Spain-Italy, 1966), and Mexican Slayride (Spain-Italy, 1967).
