bio:
Not your typical 3rd culture kid (his parents weren't diplomats), Jamie spent his childhood growing up in cities such as London, Kobe, Seoul, Tokyo, Philadelphia, and New York, in that order. It led to a mishmash of accents growing up. which at one point was the cause of an identity crisis, but he is now able to put it to good use thanks to that acting thing he does.

Jamie debuted as Angel in the official Japanese cast of RENT in 2008. Only then he realized (yikes) that if he wanted to do this as a career, he needed formal training. Hence, skipping his college graduation ceremony, he dived into the One-Year Conservatory program at the T. Schreiber Studio, NY, and completed the curriculum on a tourist visa (You're not supposed to do that? Oops). He took more classes with many teachers and casting directors, but notably he has also studied under Bob Krakower in the Advanced On-Camera class, and currently studies improv at Faceoff Unlimited.

While pursuing his dream in the US, he furthered his career by starring in lead roles in Japan's official Broadway productions of next to normal (Gabe), Dracula (Jonathan), Bare (Jason), Rocky Horror Show (Rocky), to name a few.

As you might have guessed, Jamie loves musicals, and also loves Japan. So much so that he co-founded a company called Broadway in Japan, which introduces Broadway musical theatre faculty to Japanese aspiring musical theatre performers, offering invaluable education opportunities in Japan. Ever expanding, Jamie was able to produce 4 shows via BIJ, including broadway actor Telly Leung's first solo show in Japan, as well as the first concert version of The Last Five Years which Jamie also performed in. You can learn all about it on facebook!

Jamie is represented by agents The Mine (legit) and Atlas Talent (commercial), as well as manager Josselyne Herman Saccio.

Jamie also hosts a weekly American cable TV show called TV JAPAN CLUB, as well as the sold-out improv comedy show BATSU!, performing weekly in the heart of the world famous Astor Place, NYC.

Jamie is an active member of the New York theatre community, leading a life of auditions, callbacks, and absorbing everything New York City has to offer.
