During an extended hiatus from the industry in the late 90s due to family illnesses, Jeff decided to relocate from Los Angeles back to his hometown of Marietta, Georgia. At long last, just as his family was recovering from the various maladies and Jeff was making plans to head out west again, his dentist's hygienist set him up on a blind date. Less than a year later, Jeff found himself happily married and living in a brand new home just north of Marietta in Acworth, Georgia.Now with two beautiful children, Jeff Rose and his new family are enjoying the rebirth of his career in entertainment, one that is more successful than he might have imagined just a few short years ago. At one time resigned to the seeming reality that his dreams would be lost forever, Jeff is again working non-stop as an actor in television and film, and has re-established himself in the advertising industry with a multitude of national and regional television and radio commercials.As doors of blessing continue to open for Jeff, he now finds himself a successful film producer and is the owner of Four Roses Entertainment, also based in Georgia. The first film Jeff wrote and produced, "Battaglia", a short based on his grandfather's experiences in battle in Italy during WWII, beat out hundreds of films to become a Top Five Finalist in the 2005 Amazon/Tribeca Short Film Competition. His company's latest film, "My Christmas Soldier", has received national and international distribution and is set for a November 7, 2006 release. The film, based on a true story about German P.O.W.'s who were sent by train through Georgia on Christmas Eve, 1943, features narration by Mac Powell, the lead singer for the Grammy and Dove winning band, Third Day. (Jeff originally met Third Day after being cast in the lead role of the music video for their single, "It's a Shame" (WIRE, 2005), and is now very good friends with the entire band.)The future is looking even brighter, as Jeff's company, Four Roses Entertainment, has secured the rights (with Dogwood Motion Picture Company) to produce feature films based on the very successful "Mandie" book series by Lois Gladys Leppard. The first two films in the series will be shot simultaneously in North Carolina during the summer of 2007 and Jeff will be making his feature film directorial debut.
