Jimmie Chiappelli was born in Pontiac Michigan. He started playing ice hockey at the age of 5 years old and continued playing at the collegiate level. He took an interest to acting and modeling around the age of 16 and attended John Casablanca's modeling and acting school. Being in Michigan there was not much work in the acting business at that time and he put it on the back burner temporarily, so he thought. It wasn't until 32 years later that he realized that he needed to pursue his dream. He went out for a RAM Truck commercial audition and landed it. It aired on the 2016 AMA's, and after that he knew that he had re-found his passion and calling. Since that commercial in the fall of 2016 he has appeared in over 90 different projects encompassing Feature Films, Commercials, Shorts, and even a Music Video. He was recognized as Michigan's most prolific actor in 2018, and 2019 is gaining even more momentum, with projects set to film in 3 different states, including Atlanta. He has 2 girls aged 18(Serena), and 16(Chloe). Serena attends Ohio Northern University as a Musical Theatre major and Dance minor. Chloe is involved with Musical Theatre as well, along with Film and commercials, with a real passion for singing. His wife Sonja is a professional choreographer and Youth Theatre director. Show less «
