Jacob is an Auckland-based actor, writer, and multi-talented creative. Born in York, Yorkshire, England, he spent 13 years in Hong Kong before moving to Aotearoa at 18. After a ski season and earning a marine biology degree, he transitioned into acting school, securing a core cast role in Head High Season 1 before graduating. During the pandemic, Jacob delved into creating his own work, directing a successful proof of concept, Here If You Need, which led to a fully funded web series that he wrote, produced, and starred in. Last year, he spent time in France learning the language, and this year, he plans to stay in New Zealand to further his career in the arts.
