Jake Thomas

Jake's early life was marked by a strong presence in the entertainment industry, as he frequently appeared on his mother's television show and his father's radio show when he was still a young child. In fact, he made his debut on the Knoxville Evening News, broadcasting live from the nursery of the hospital where he was born. The television station where his mother worked as an anchor covered his first few days in great detail. As he grew older, Jake began appearing in television commercials alongside his parents. When he was just six years old, his family made the move to Hollywood. One day, Jake found himself in the office of his mother's agent, where the agents were thoroughly entertained by him and subsequently asked to represent him. Following six months of auditions with no success, Jake landed his first national commercial, marking the beginning of a long string of successful bookings. He went on to perform in numerous plays at Beverly Hills' theaters alongside his parents. Throughout this time, Jake continued to audition for various films and television shows, eventually landing a guest star role on the popular sitcom 3rd Rock from the Sun in 1996. This breakthrough role marked the beginning of a steady stream of TV and movie appearances for Jake.
