Jesse Jensen grew up in Niles, California where Charlie Chaplin made his earliest films. He is the son of Jeff & Kathy Jensen and has three sisters. Growing up without the influence of television Jesse watched an excessive amount of film, which solidified his interest in acting. As a teenager he studied the work of Brando, Pacino, and Sean Penn. In 2000, Jesse moved to Los Angeles to attend film school at Loyola Marymount University. During college he gravitated towards theater arts and was regarded for his portrayal of HAMLET. He graduated early with honors, and began to work as an actor. He earned roles on television including CSI and Cold Case, as well as a notable supporting role in the indie film Wasted. Restless and ambitious, Jesse began a theater company called the Front Porch Players where he produced plays on his porch in Venice Beach. He is also a founding member of the notorious Los Angeles-based art gang the Bagavagabonds. In 2006 he met actress Amanda Vitiello at the Long Beach Playhouse, and married her as soon as she would let him. From 2000-2010, Jesse made a number of successful short films and also wrote an original play as well as a novella. In 2010, Jesse was one of seven actors in the country awarded a full scholarship to the prestigious Old Globe MFA program at the University of San Diego. Show less «
