JASON E. KELLEY

Prior to garnering appearances in 85 television and film projects, working with incredible industry talents, this award-winning artist began his professional performing career writing and portraying Tupac Shakur in the audience-participation improvisation show, Inside Private Lives - a fan favorite of the Edinburgh & San Francisco Fringe Festivals. JK's ongoing comedic work landed a coveted casting in the Fourth Annual CBS Diversity Comedy Showcase while simultaneously co-penning the NBC Short Cuts Festival Audience Choice winner Make It Happen. Shifting gears to hone his dramatic chops, he joined the Sierra Madre Playhouse production of To Kill a Mockingbird followed by Rogue Machine’s world premiere of Kemp Powers acclaimed masterpiece One Night In Miami, co-originating the roles of Bro. Kareem & Jim Brown, winning multiple NAACP Theatre and LA Stage Alliance awards. 

 

JK booked four major game titles during 2020 including a Marvel MMOBA, a major upcoming Sony sequel, and the lead in Bethesda Softworks' highly anticipated DEATHLOOP.

Hailing from the DMV and living throughout the US and Europe, he is a traveler, coach, dabbling songwriter, spiritual enthusiast, new father, lover of Harley-Davidson, and avid collegiate football and track & field fan. Sit with him over a good bourbon and you'll discover his life experiences are far more diverse and surprising than his unassuming demeanor presents.

Whether he's performing with LA's first all-black co-ed improv team he co-founded, TuskegeeXperiment, or pitching a new series to studio executives, his message is simple:  You can write new chapters to your story if you'll take three simple actions daily: #BelieveBig #DoTheWork #KeepGoing
