Jeffrey Maynard is a drama actor who appears in Season Four episode, "Helen Keller! The Musical".
Background
The 4th graders are rehearsing for their Thanksgiving play about Helen Keller. They are trying to put on a play as spectacular as possible, and Cartman brings in Jeffrey Maynard as their supervisor. Cartman describes him as "South Park's biggest expert on musical theater" because he played the lead in Les Misérables at the Denver Community Playhouse for five weeks. He brings in Lamond the animal trainer who owns the feat-performing turkey Alinicia. During the play, Timmy finds out that Lamond tricked him to let go of his disabled turkey Gobbles. Timmy leaves the show to look for Gobbles. As a result, Maynard fills in for Timmy's part of Helen Keller. To Cartman's chagrin, Maynard acts in his own way which includes singing, contrary to Hellen Keller being deaf, mute, and blind.
Appearance
He wears a dark blue sweater and light blue pants. He has spiky brown hair and bushy full beard. He speaks in a sing-song voice.
