Jethro always knew that he wanted to be an actor at a very young age. Even though life threw him some curve balls, steering him away from the path of being an artist, he eventually found his way back to the craft. He knew that everything happens and does happen for a reason. Timing is everything. While pursuing this life of being a working actor, he feeds his soul and his craft by working as an immigration lawyer and as a flight attendant. “I always knew that there was a purpose as to why God and the universe afforded me time in law school and flight attendant school - it was to get me ready financially to pursue my dreams.” Albeit, there will always be a constant journey, both artistically and financially, Jethro remains determined to follow his dreams.

“Acting, for me, is not just a passion… it’s a lifestyle. You have to live for the craft. You have to breathe the craft. Your soul has to yearn for it when you wake up in the morning and when you sleep at night.”

Jethro has appeared in several theater productions, including “South Pacific” and “The Front Page” as well as several commercials. Jethro’s latest projects include his first short film called “Home” in which he played a heartbroken lover after the death of his lover from cancer, in which he realizes true love resides inside someone, even after pain and hurt. He has also starred in “The Bartender” where he plays a man who tries to find love in the wrong places that ultimately causes his demise. If Jethro is not doing what he loves, you can find him in one of two places: at home, in Las Vegas, spending time with his two corgis, or seeking out local Vegas eats.
