Jonathan originally hails from the cornfields of Illinois and holds a B.F.A. in Acting from the Professional Actors Studio at the University of Illinois. During the summer of 1993, he studied under Academy Award winner Ben Kingsley at the prestigious British American Drama Academy (BADA) in Oxford, England. Jonathan received glowing reviews for his creation of the role of Roy Glenn in the critically acclaimed, world premiere of Zsa Zsa Gershick’s “Bluebonnet Court” at the Hudson Mainstage Theatre in late 2006.
Jonathan has appeared on AMC’s “MAD MEN”, HBO’s “Carnivale”, “ER” and “Malcolm in the Middle”. He has several short films under his belt, most recently “A Postcard from the Volcano” by Josh Tate. “Side Effect“, by Liz Adams (2008, AFI), has been nominated for a Golden Chainsaw award at the Dead by Dawn Film Festival in Edinburgh, Scotland.
A man of many talents, Jonathan is also an avid home brewer and won a Gold Medal (English Ale category) at the America’s Finest City Homebrew Competition in San Diego. A one-time podcaster and blogger, Jonathan is looking for the next outlet to target his creative talents.

Oh, and oldie, but goodie! My first national commercial was for Alka Seltzer Cold Medicine from way back when. Enjoy.
One little note… Those are not my “sighs of relief” you are hearing. Professional “sigher” was hired. Ah, advertising!
A very ambitious day, to say the least. Up at 6:30am with only two hours of sleep with my first screening at 8:30am – “Humpday”. It was an extremely funny film. And then two more screenings and a group dinner at the condo. Wish I had taken more video, to be honest.
