While in the hospital (near the end of his battle with cancer) a nurse brought in an actors headshot in the hopes that Jeff Morris could somehow help with the nurse's movie career.

In what would have probably been his last big screen appearance, Jeff Morris had a scene with his old friend Jack Nicholson in the film About Schmidt (2002) as a farmer that Schmidt meets at a gas station. The scene was ultimately cut, but it can still be seen in its entirety in the deleted scenes section on the DVD.
