Jesse Benefield (He/him)

Jesse was born and raised in Hood River Oregon, where he currently resides. He has been involved in the arts all his life. Digital illustration, singing and guitar playing are some of Jesse’s favorite hobbies since graduating from University of Oregon with a BA in visual art. Jesse first started acting in community college and found it to be extremely fulfilling. The appeal of acting, for Jesse, lies in the opportunity to help tell a story. The story is always number one. 

Jesse found his way to The Actor’s Lab about 6 years ago when he decided to dedicate himself to making acting a career. The first step, as he was advised, was to get into a reputable class and learn. He appreciates that The Actor’s Lab and its instructors take the craft very seriously and create an environment that insists on challenging yourself and facilitating growth.
