Jonathan Roarke

Born and raised in Louisiana, Jonathan Roarke was bitten by the acting bug at a young age when he was cast in a commercial for the Boy Scouts of America. Later as an adult, he trained in voice acting and film acting at the Film Actor's Lab in Dallas before going to Hollywood. There he studied voice acting and auditioned for a few parts, but was unhappy with the LA lifestyle. He then moved to Las Vegas, where he worked briefly as a puppeteer. From there he made his way back to Louisiana, and began performing professionally as a magician and ventriloquist. After hurricane Katrina, film activity in North Louisiana picked up considerably, offering him more opportunities to pursue acting. After signing with an agent he began auditioning again and booked a national commercial, and sporadically worked as background on several films shot locally. Primarily trained as a voice actor, he is most comfortable behind a microphone but does enjoy the occasional on-camera role, particularly if it is an interesting character.
