La Ligne verte
Jeter's woebegone look, extreme flexibility, and high energy led Tommy Tune to cast him in the off-Broadway play "Cloud 9" in 1981. Much of his work specialized in playing eccentric, pretentious, or wimpy characters, as in "The Fisher King", "Waterworld", "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas", "The Green Mile" and "Drop Zone". Occasionally, Jeter was able to stray away from these types of roles for more diverse characters like those he portrayed in "Jurassic Park III", "Air Bud", and "Open Range". Jeter is perhaps most known for his role as convicted felon Eduard Delacroix in "The Green Mile", a role for which he was nominated along with the rest of the cast for a Screen Actors Guild Award. He played Rudy in "Patch Adams" as well.
