“Actor Jeffrey Carlson has passed away at the age of 48.
“The stage and screen star notably played the one of the first trans characters on daytime television in the series All My Children.
“Carlson’s death was announced by his close friend and colleague Susan Hart, who shared that he passed July 6.
“Born in 1975, Carlson’s future in acting was immediately foreshadowed, being given the first name “Jeffrey” because his mother was a fan of the character Jeff Martin on the daytime television series All My Children.
“Carlson grew up in Long Beach, California, and first studied dramatic acting at the University of California Davis.
“After graduating in 1997, he moved to New York City to train at Julliard as a member of their Drama Division’s Group 30.
“He completed his training in 2001, and it wasn’t long before he made his Broadway debut.”
