Born in Plano Texas, Jacob Kyle Young personifies "The New American Man" strong, aware and caring. He had an idyllic childhood. "I was very blessed with parents who encouraged us to do what made us happy." One of four boys, Jacob's loving parents, supported his dreams. "I went two times a week with Dad to the Rio 10 Cinema." Films inspired him, but sports were instantly accessible, and Jacob grew up succeeding at pretty much whatever he put his mind to. That included soccer and football.
He took acting lessons from Mona Lee and Marco Perella. At 21, then moved from Austin to LA where he caught fire. Focused 24/7, he shot 20 independent films in record time. Building a reel with impact and authenticity, he's defining his unique 'brand.' "I felt strongly about creating a body of work; If they don't take me seriously how can I take them seriously?"
His Sundance debut was the 2017 premiere of PBS' "My Brother's Keeper" starring Jacob in a virtual reality short as one of two brothers on opposing sides of the Civil War and the project was nominated for an Emmy.
His latest role in 2018 was in the feature film, "His Sunrise My Sunset" based on the best selling novel with the same title.
With Matt Damon's "Good Will Hunting" trajectory as a roadmap, Jacob has begun to create scripts that will highlight his character type: the New All-American male with a heart and smarts.
Another Project, "Reach" is a coming of age drama/sport feature film. Jacob wrote the screenplay, is attached as one of the producers, and will also be starring as the lead actor.
Unsurprisingly, the personal trainer lives on in Jacob.
"Actors inspire. I want to encourage people to chase their dreams."
