Jacob Berger was born and raised in The Bronx. Jacob was always a natural performer, taking part in plays and musicals through most of his childhood but then shifting gears to a more traditional line of work. Initially a licensed social worker with a graduate degree from Columbia University, Jacob decided to enter into the professional TV/Film industry in 2011 after he began dabbling in the entertainment world and had a comedy rap video go viral. For the next 3 years, Jacob began putting in the work he needed to build his foundation in show business by taking classes at prestigious acting schools such as William Esper, Stella Adler, and UCB as well as learning the ropes of the business. By 2014, Jacob began getting major tv/film roles and working with award winning actors and directors. He has well over 15 major tv/film credits including Power, Wonder Wheel, Bull, and many others you can see on his IMDB. Jacob's career really began to take off in 2017 when he had several comedy sketches and parody rap videos go viral on social media which turned him into a social media influencer with today over 1.5 millions followers across his social media platforms, @jacobbergeractor. His social media success opened tremendous doors for his career and allowed him to make the move to Hollywood in late 2018, where he has found much success, including booking several shows including a recurring guest star role on In The Cut, created by Bentley Evans. Jacob is a versatile character actor and entertainer who has shown proven success in both comedy and drama. Jacob is an authoritative type on camera but with a sense of vulnerability that is needed for a layered performance. His ability to create his own original content and comedy rap videos that have been seen by hundreds of millions of people worldwide in the past 4 years is something that makes Jacob stand out from the crowd of actors who can only create what is presented to them.
