Background

Jefferson attended The University of Kentucky and Western Kentucky University and began working in sales. He met his wife Kelly while attending WKU. He began his acting career by accident. He attended an audition at a regional theater with his wife, who was auditioning. The director asked him to read the lead lines as the person who was supposed to didn't show up, and he wound up with the part. [1] Afterwards, he continued doing stage work and later moved into on-camera roles in music videos, television commercials, and short films; after nine years, he landed his first principal role in a feature film opposite Lou Diamond Phillips and Andre Braugher.

In 2001, he founded Kelly's Filmworks Ltd. (named for his wife and co-founder, Kelly) and proceeded to write, produce, direct and edit his own projects. The company also handles its own distribution. Incidentally, each movie has a character named Kelly somewhere in the film.

He has stated in numerous interviews that his company does not produce "Christian films", explaining, "we are an independent movie studio whose stories are produced by persons who are faithful to the Hope of Jesus Christ, and, naturally, those world views are sometimes reflected, in a myriad of ways, in our productions."

Jefferson has served as editor on several of his films, under the pseudonym Pate Walters.[ citation needed ]

In late 2022, he began guesting on WABF1480-AM in Fairhope, Alabama, as "Jefferson in the Morning".

Pilot (<i>Lost</i>) 1st and 2nd episodes of the 1st season of Lost

"Pilot" is the two-part television pilot of the ABC television series Lost, with part 1 premiering on September 22, 2004, and part 2 one week later on September 29. Both parts were directed by J. J. Abrams, who co-wrote the script with series co-creator Damon Lindelof. Jeffrey Lieber, who had been commissioned by ABC to write the first version of the script, earned a story credit. Filmed in Oahu, Hawaii, it was the most expensive pilot episode up to that time, costing between $10 and $14 million, largely due to the expense of purchasing, shipping, and dressing a decommissioned Lockheed 1011 to represent Flight 815's wreckage. Many changes were made during the casting process, including the selected actors, the characters' behaviors and fates.
