Movies with Jeffrey Drew

Jeffrey Drew is an acclaimed character actor whose commanding presence and dynamic range have graced the screen for over two decades. Though he may not be a household name, Drew's versatility and commitment to his craft have made him an indispensable supporting player in a wide array of films. From his breakout turn as a troubled Vietnam veteran in the 1997 indie drama River Made to Drown In to his recent acclaimed performance as a small-town lawyer fighting for a terminally ill patient's right to experimental treatment in 2021's Right to Try, Drew has demonstrated an uncanny ability to inhabit complex, morally ambiguous roles. Whether playing gruff authority figures or empathetic underdogs, he brings a naturalistic intensity and emotional nuance to each performance that elevates even the most mundane material. Most recently, Drew showcased his knack for dry, deadpan humor in the 2024 sleeper hit The Little Pageant That Could, in which he delivered a scene-stealing turn as the curmudgeonly director of a struggling local beauty pageant. This versatility, coupled with his chameleon-like physical transformation abilities, has made Drew a favorite among discerning filmmakers seeking a reliable character actor to lend gravitas and authenticity to their projects.
