Life and career

[edit]

Jake was born on September 10, 1978, in Twisp, Washington. Jake has accepted his first lead, as 'John,' the comparatively less twisted of a psychopathic serial killer's two sons, in Morgan J. Freeman's film Born Killers (2005). In the 2007 film Borderland he plays Henry, one of a group of three college students who discovers a human sacrifice cult in a Mexican border town.[1] He extended his record of disturbing and dark material by landing a lead role as Holt alongside Sarah Roemer in the horror film Asylum (2008).Holt is one of several students, who must try to free the possessed campus. He is the protagonist in the 2009 film Shadow, where he plays 'David,' who returns from traumatic military service in Iraq only to discover a much more horrifying lost Nazi experiment camp in the Alps.[2]
