Jimmy's academic background is impressive, having graduated from Eisenhower High School and later earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Acting from Western Michigan University. His university days were marked by a keen interest in honing his skills, as he delved into various acting techniques, including Lucid Body, Fitzmaurice Voice, and Demidov Acting technique.
The early days of Jimmy's professional career were filled with excitement and opportunities. During the film incentive boom in Michigan, he attended an Actor Fest, which led him to his first agent, Productions Plus The Talent Shop. This breakthrough soon translated into his first union speaking role, a four-week stint on the Warner Brother's feature film "Into the Storm".
Since then, Jimmy has worked on a diverse range of projects, including independent films, commercial productions, and voice-over sessions, both in Michigan and Chicago. His dedication to his craft has been unwavering, and he has consistently sought out opportunities to improve and expand his skill set.
In 2020, Jimmy made the bold move to New York City, signing with the esteemed agent, Take 3 Talent. Although the pandemic presented significant challenges, Jimmy remained resilient and continued to work on voice-over projects and produce commercials, solidifying his position in the industry. Throughout his journey, Jimmy has demonstrated a remarkable ability to adapt, persevere, and grow, making him a talented and promising individual in the world of entertainment.
