Jeffrey Carlson (June 23, 1975 – July 6, 2023) was an American Broadway, film, and television actor and singer, known for his role as the transgender character, Zoe Luper, on the long-running daytime soap opera All My Children.[1]

Education

Carlson was born in Long Beach, California. His mother named him Jeffrey, because she was a fan of All My Children and of the character Jeff Martin on the show. He studied acting at the University of California, Davis, where he graduated in 1997[2] with a Bachelor of Arts degree in dramatic art. Carlson then trained at New York City's Juilliard School as a member of the Drama Division's Group 30 (1997–2001).[3]

In 2005, he had a small role as Egon in the Will Smith romantic comedy Hitch. In August 2006, he appeared in a daytime role on All My Children, as a British rock star named Zarf. In late November 2006, he returned to the role. In the course of the storyline, Zarf was revealed to be a transgender woman named Zoe, who also happened to be a lesbian.[1] All My Children won a GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Daily Drama in 2007 for this storyline. He appeared in the title role of Lorenzaccio in the play by Alfred de Musset, at the Shakespeare Theatre Company in Washington, D.C. and returned in June 2008 to play Hamlet.[5]
