Jeffrey Jay Cohen (born Birth date and age|1965|6|22|df=yes) is an actor who has appeared in film and on television. J. J.'s first feature film was in the 1984 film "Paradise Motel". It wasn't until 1985 he would get his big role in the hit film "Back to the Future" as Skinhead, a member of Biff Tannen's gang. In 1989, he reprised his role in "Back to the Future Part II", a year later, he appeared in "Back to the Future Part III" as a member of Needles's gang.

According to the DVD commentary, he was originally up for the role of Biff but did not appear physically imposing next to Eric Stoltz who was originally cast as Marty McFly. Writer/producer Bob Gale noted that had the much shorter Michael J. Fox been cast as Marty from the beginning as they'd hoped, J.J. probably would have played Biff.

J. J.'s other film roles include the 1985 film "Secret Admirer". He starred in the 1986 drama film "Fire with Fire". J. J.'s other big role was in the 1987 film "The Principal" as White Zac. He also appeared in "976-EVIL". J. J.'s most recent film was in the 2000 film "Almost Famous".
