Adult entertainment

[edit]

Jeffers performed under the name "Carl Hardwick" from 1997 to 2003, appearing in nine films for Colt Studio Group, Buckshot and Jimmy Z Productions.[7] He also modeled nude for still beefcake photography. Fans have cited his competition-worthy muscles and copious body hair as defining attributes of Jeffers as Hardwick.[8]
