“Right now, like every other actor, everyone is taking a billion auditions,” he explained, “hoping to crack the shell. No matter what level you’re on, everyone is walking up the hill.”
And should he succeed, Jake—who was attending Syracuse University before he decided to leave and focus on acting—shared that his dream role would be in a science fiction drama.
“That would be my crème-de-la-crème,” he said. “I just love those kinds of films where you’re looking 50 years into the future, which gives you creative input into world-building, but is grounded in the subject matter. That’s what makes a great sci-fi film.”
