“I recently had the pleasure of working with Jacob on a Zoom reading of a new TV pilot I’m developing. Working with Jacob was a true honor. His hard work, enthusiasm for the project, and commitment to the process was invaluable. He is one of the most talented actors I have worked with and he brings so much to the table. His dedication to working on his craft did not go unnoticed. Because of the positive impression he left on me, I intend to cast him in all projects I create in the future. He’s one of the special ones!”
