Jeffrey Tambor, known for his roles in sitcoms like The Ropers, Arrested Development, Transparent, as well as the film The Death of Stalin. The actor first started acting at the young age of 12. He later earned theatre degrees at San Francisco State University and Detroit’s Wayne State University.

From the ‘70s onwards, the actor began playing roles in TV shows, later being cast in the crime flick …And Justice for All as a supporting character alongside prominent actor Al Pacino. Decades later, the actor was cast in the leading role as Maura Pfefferman on the Amazon TV show Transparent. However, years later after the show was released, the actor was accused of harassment by his fellow Transparent cast members, Van Barnes and Trace Lysette. This led to Amazon conducting an internal investigation on the matter, which ultimately ended in Tambor’s termination.
