Education Dramaturg Ted Sod sat down with Jake to discuss his work on ‘If There Is I Haven’t Found It Yet’.
TS: Will you tell us something about your background? How did you get your start?
JG: I was born in Los Angeles, CA. I decided I wanted to be an actor at an early age. I remember watching Danny Kaye in “The Court Jester” when I was around 5 years old and being thrilled at the prospect of maybe doing what he was doing one day. I went to acting classes in the San Fernando Valley as a young kid, acted throughout high school and began auditioning professionally at 14 or so, but I have never been formally trained. My parents always encouraged me to get a formal education. They stressed that it would help in whatever I ended up choosing to be my career. At 16 I landed my first professional acting gig, a movie called October Sky.
I ended up making that movie during the second semester of my senior year in high school and then went to college in NYC after. My education is ultimately what has made me a successful actor.
