Career Start
Jake was born in New Jersey,
commuting distance from New York City. He was
discovered at a young age when he tagged along with
his older brother Matthew to acting and modeling
auditions. Matthew’s agent saw Jake’s boy-next-door
cuteness and recognized his potential as a child
actor.
Once Jake decided to give acting a try, it was
apparent he had what it took to become a success in
that super competitive world. He appeared in over 20
commercials and soon started landing television and
movie roles. Before winning his role as Nick Daley
in the ‘Night at the Museum’ movie series, he had
roles in television shows like ‘Third Watch’,
‘Desperate Housewives’ and ‘House M.D.’ and in
movies like ‘Miracle Run’ and ‘Friends with Money’.
Does he have any advice for other aspiring young
actors? According to Jake, his first grade teacher
played a role in his success. “She taught me to read
with enthusiasm and vigor, and become a character
while I read. Reading helps you become a better
actor.”
Jake comes from a very talented family. Not only did
his older brother once work as an actor, but his
younger brother Andrew is also making a name for
himself as a child star. The two brothers recently
got a chance to act together in the movie ‘The
Rebound’!
