Hi, I'm Jacob :)

Sooo, here’s what u need to know:
I’m an actor, model, and movement director from New Orleans and Fairhope, Alabama.
I’m a recent graduate of Boston University’s College of Fine Arts, where I earned a BFA in Acting with concentrations in Film/Television and Movement Direction. I also studied classical performance at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) in London, receiving a certification with distinction in broadsword combat through the BASSC.
My approach to both acting and modeling is rooted in physical specificity, curiosity, and collaboration. I’ve served as music and movement director across several stage productions, choreographed music videos for emerging pop artists, shot campaigns for major beauty brands, and accompanied and composed original scores for theatre.
Outside of performance, I’m a proud tabletop game enthusiast, dog-trainer, and fourth-generation toy-maker raised in my family’s antique shop; I continue to collect, research, and restore antiques like my momma taught me.
If you need music recs or a shoulder to climb on,
I know a guy.
Stay in touch,
JA <3
