Jeff Cohen Career
Acting
Cohen was one of the children describing words to the contestants on the 1982–83 CBS game show Child’s Play. During the summer of 1985, he appeared as a celebrity on Body Language.
In 1986 he was also in a Disney TV movie, Ask Max. Cohen’s sister, Eydie Faye, is a playwright and actress. In the final scene of The Goonies, when the families gather on the beach, Faye has a cameo as Chunk’s sister.
His acting had an incredible sense of genuineness, of reality. He was Jeff — he drew from himself, and I think that’s who he is now. He’s honest and straight. I think that was in his acting and now in his law practice.
— Director Richard Donner, Variety
Cohen claimed in The Goonies DVD commentary track that every role he played as a child had him wearing either a Hawaiian shirt or a pair of plaid pants, and director Richard Donner had the brilliant idea to put him in both for The Goonies.
Before The Goonies started filming, Cohen contracted chickenpox. Afraid that they would re-cast the role, he told no one of his illness and showed up to work anyway. According to the commentary track on The Goonies DVD, the chickenpox on Cohen’s chest can be seen during the famous “Truffle Shuffle” sequence.
Law
Cohen used introductions from Goonies director Richard Donner to get summer jobs on the business side of movie studios; he would say about that time in the ABA Journal story, “I grew up loving The Three Stooges and the Marx Brothers, but suddenly I had a new crop of heroes.”
He chose to pursue a legal career upon finding out that many of the most important figures on the business side of Hollywood had law degrees. After his time at Berkeley, Cohen earned a J.D. degree from the UCLA School of Law in 2000 and later became an entertainment lawyer in Los Angeles. In 2002, he co-founded the Cohen & Gardner firm in Beverly Hills.
In the September 24, 2008 issue of Variety, Cohen was profiled in the Dealmakers Impact Report. Additionally, Cohen was named to The Hollywood Reporter‘s “Next Generation: Hollywood’s Top 35 Executives 35 and Under” in their November 5 issue.
Cohen was named to Variety’s Dealmakers Impact Report in 2013. As of February 2014, he periodically “writes about business, legal and political matters for The Huffington Post and CNBC.”
