Jeffrey Tambor

The illustrious Jeffrey (Michael) Tambor has been gracing audiences with his presence for the past four decades. Bearing an esteemed title in both comedic and dramatic performances, he was born to the respected family of Eileen (Salzberg) and Michael Bernard Tambor, a flooring contractor, on July 8, 1944 in San Francisco. His lineage hails from the esteemed Jewish lineages of Hungary and Ukraine. After obtaining a Bachelor of Arts degree from San Francisco State University and a Masters from Wayne State University, Tambor began building his reputation in repertory theaters from Seattle to Milwaukee. With his large and looming presence, coupled with his sly-eyed look, obnoxious attitude and leering gaze, Tambor has become a renowned presence in television, appearing in shows such as "Taxi," "Barney Miller," "Kojak," and "Starsky and Hutch." Truly a man of grandeur and excellence, Tambor is a distinguished figure in the entertainment industry.
