- Jeff Takacs is a veteran of NY theater, writing and performing with the critically and audience-acclaimed Company XIV during their major growth period from 2010-2014. With Company XIV, he wrote and performed in over a dozen original shows, including "Lover.Muse.Mockingbird.Whore," of which the NY Times wrote, "Takacs's pitch-perfect delivery of the tough-guy terse language...feels resonant: man as brute and victim." Takacs expanded to film and television in 2011 with a series regular role on Cinemax's "Girl's Guide to Depravity" and the Coen Brothers' "Inside Llewyn Davis." He now resides in Dallas, Texas.- IMDb Mini Biography By: Cis Kovacs
