University of Memphis.
His television roles include Herman Stiles on Evening Shade from 1990 until 1994 and Mr. Noodle"s brother Mr. Noodle on Elmo"s World from 1999 until 2003. Jeter"s film roles include Zelig, The Fisher King, Waterworld, Air Bud, The Green Mile, Jurassic Park III, and The Polar Express.
Jeter was a student at Memphis State University (now the University of Memphis) when his interests changed from medicine to acting.
He left Memphis to further pursue his stage career in Baltimore, Maryland. Jeter"s woebegone look, extreme flexibility, and high energy led Tommy Tune to cast him in the off-Broadway play Cloud 9 in 1981.
Much of his work specialized in playing eccentric, pretentious, or wimpy characters, as in The Fisher King, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and Drop Zone. Occasionally, Jeter was able to stay away from these types of roles for more diverse characters like those he portrayed in Jurassic Park III, Air Bud and Open Range.
He was also a favorite with younger audiences in his role as Mr.
Noodle"s brother, Mr. Noodle on Sesame Street from 1999 to 2003. He appeared in an episode of Touched by an Angel in 1999 as Gus, an insurance salesman who arrives in Las Vegas in the episode "The Manitoba Upstairs".
His last two appearances were in the films The Polar Express and Open Range.
Both films were in post-production at the time of his death and, when released, contained a dedication to his memory. On March 30, 2003, Jeter was found dead in his Hollywood home at age 50.
Although he had Human Immunodeficiency Virus, he had been in good health for many years. Once in a Lifetime
