Actor Jeffery Self stars in the Universal Pictures and Blumhouse psychological thriller DROP, which debuted in theatres on April 11. He worked alongside Emmy nominee Meghann Fahy and Brandon Sklenar, known for his role in It Ends with Us.
Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Christopher Landon, DROP follows Violet (Fahy) as she goes on her first date in years after losing her husband. She is relieved that her date, Henry (Sklenar), is more charming and handsome than she expected. But their chemistry begins to curdle as Violet begins being irritated and then terrorized by a series of anonymous drops to her phone.
Her unseen tormentor instructs her to tell nobody and follow commands, or they will kill Violet’s young son and sister. Violet must do exactly as directed, or everyone she loves will die. The end goal: killing Henry.
Self’s performance was described as “scene-stealingly flamboyant and hilarious,” according to an Indie Wire review.
Self is an accomplished actor, writer, and comedian. His most notable projects include 30 Rock, Shameless, 90210, Desperate Housewives, and Amazon’s The Horror of Doloras Roach. He is best known for his recurring role in the critically acclaimed series Search Party as “Marc Doober.”
As a writer, Self has authored two young adult novels, Drag Teen and A Very Very Bad Thing. He’s also recently published a memoir titled Self-Sabotage: And Other Ways I Spend My Time. In film, he has appeared in Spoiler Alert, Mack & Rita, and The High Note, showcasing his range from heartfelt drama to sharp comedic roles.
Drop is jointly produced by blockbuster genre houses Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes.
