Jeffrey Scott Jensen, a California-born actor, spent a significant portion of his childhood in the small Arizona town of Heber during the 1970s, before returning to California for high school in Claremont.
At the tender age of eight, Jensen's parents took him on a memorable trip to the closest theater, where they watched "The Cowboys" starring John Wayne and Bruce Dern. This cinematic experience had a profound impact on Jensen, leaving him thoroughly frightened and ultimately convincing him of his desire to become an actor.
As a result, Jensen threw himself into every elementary and high school play he could find, honing his craft and nurturing his passion for the performing arts.
However, Jensen's life took a devastating turn when he was just seventeen years old, as his mother succumbed to cancer. His father, who was suffering from Alzheimer's disease, passed away a few years later. The loss of his parents at such a young age was a double-edged sword, granting Jensen the freedom to pursue his dreams in Hollywood without the guilt of abandoning them, yet also leaving him with the crushing burden of grief.
Jensen's big break in the film industry came when he landed a role as a Mafia tough in "Genuine Risk" alongside the talented Peter Berg, who he credits as one of the many friendly and gifted artists he has had the privilege of working with over the years.
In 2008, Jensen received a nomination for Best Supporting Actor at the Methodfest awards for his portrayal of "Faraday" in "Chronic Town", alongside other esteemed nominees, including the iconic Bruce Dern.
