==Film Deaths==
*Basquiat (Build a Fort, Set It on Fire) (1996) [Jean Michel Basquiat]: Dies (off-screen) of a drug overdose; my memory of the movie is vague, but I believe there was only some on-screen text informing us of his death.
*Shaft (2000) [Peoples Hernandez]: Shot in the chest in a shoot-out with Samuel L. Jackson.
*The Manchurian Candidate (2004) [Al Melvin]: Killed (off-screen). His body is later shown when pictures of his corpse are shown to Denzel Washington.
*A Single Shot (2013) [Simon]: Commits suicide by shooting himself (off-screen) in Sam Rockwell's house; this is implied when Sam hears the shot from outside.
*The Good Dinosaur (2015; animated) [Poppa Henry]: Playing the voice of a dinosaur, he drowns in a flash flood (off-screen) while trying to save his son (voiced by Raymond Ochoa); we last see him just before the flood swallows him, and his death is confirmed when the scene cuts away to a shot of his grave. He appears in a vision to Raymond later on.
*No Time to Die (2021) [Felix Leiter]: Shot in the stomach with a handgun in a double-cross by Billy Magnussen. He later dies as Daniel Craig tries to save him while dealing with the sinking boat.
*American Fiction (2023) [Dr. Thelonious "Monk" Ellison]: In a fantasy sequence, he is shot to death by the police. He survives the film in reality.
==Television Deaths==
*Boardwalk Empire: Eldorado (2014) [Dr. Valentin Narcisse]: Shot to death by Vincent Piazza's men as he's walking outside a church. Having been hit twice, Jeffrey stumbles through the crowd and collapses on the ground, before a mobster finishes him off by shooting in in the head.
*The Venture Bros: Tanks For Nuthin (2016; animated) [Think Tank]: Killed in an explosion when Battleaxe (voiced by Barbara Rosenblat) runs him over with her car, through Dr. Venture's (voiced by James Urbaniak) compound and into a hole in the lobby.
*Westworld: The Well Tempered Clavier (2016)[Bernard Lowe]: Commits suicide by shooting himself in the head, when he is ordered to do so by Anthony Hopkins. Jeffrey plays a robot and is ressurrected in the following episode. 
*Westworld: The Bicameral Mind (2016)[Bernard Lowe/Arnold]: Jeffrey plays dual roles in the episode. "Bernard" is brought back to life from the previous episode (he is a "host"/robot). "Arnold" is shot in the back of the head by Evan Rachel Wood in a flashback scene.
