I'm so excited that i finally found this show. I've literally been looking for it for at least a decade. I was starting to think it was just a recurring dream from my childhood. Anyway, I saw a movie a few years ago with Robert Downey Jr and i remeber thinking THAT'S JEFF! Then i searched his IMDB page and it wasn't him but i was still convinced that it was him and he just wasn't credited for it. For a while i was also convinced that Alan Cumming was Jeff. Does anyone else think that Robert or Alan look like Jeff?

Maybe Jeff looked a little like Robert Downey, Jr. I always thought he looked more like Barry Williams (Greg from "The Brady Bunch").

I personally think he looks a bit like Joel Grey. I can see a resemblance to Barry Williams, too.

I thought it was Robert Downey Jr too.

It's actually Jeff Hyslop. I don't really see him looking like Robert Downey Jr., but I guess it's a matter of opinion!

that's so weird! i always remember Robert Downey Jr being my 1st crush (when i was 9)
but i found Today's Special on You Tube and now Im pretty sure that Jeff was my 1st crush (i was like 3)

and they do look a little alike.

What would either of those actors be doing on an obscure Canadian children's television show? ]laugh]

I actually didn't think about it until just now, when I was watching an episode on Youtube, for old times sake and the memories. I hadn't watched this show since I was about 9 or 10 and at that age, I had no idea who RDJ was so I never made the comparison until just now. In fact, I came to this site, specifically, to see if anyone else shared the same thought. I also agree with the person who said that Jeff looked like Greg Brady. That's actually who I thought Jeff was when I was little.
