Anyone who has been fortunate enough to see the BBC comedy series "Coupling" (think "Friends" mixed with "Seinfeld" while more obsessed with sex) knows that Jeff, played by Richard Coyle, was the heart and soul of the show's comedic talents. Incredibly dense and clueless, he always had the best lines and executed them like a master craftsman. I recently caught season 4 on DVD and Jeff had mysteriously vanished without explanation to be replaced by some wanker nowhere near as funny as Coyle. It was such a jarring shift that the show wasn't even worth watching anymore. So whatever happened to Jeff? It turns out that he left the show to pursue his love of the stage. The Independent caught up with Coyle recently to see how things are going.
