This theatre experience created Jesse's love in music and acting.
Jesse started to pursue his own acting roles. The big break for Jesse came when he was casted in the important role of Adam Chandler, Jr. on the hit ABC daytime drama All My Children. Jesse has been seen on television as a guest star on Law & Order, Rosie O'Donnell's Primetime Christmas Special and in her Big K-Back to School commercial.
