My least favorite thing to do is talk about myself. Acting, for me, is the opportunity to explore, experience, and defend humanity. It’s not about being the center of attention. It’s about storytelling, a sacred and vital human tradition, that both actor and audience play a critical role in.

Bio Jonathan Bray

My least favorite thing to do is talk about myself. Acting, for me, is the opportunity to explore, experience, and defend humanity. It’s not about being the center of attention. It’s about storytelling, a sacred and vital human tradition, that both actor and audience play a critical role in.

I grew up just outside of Boston, the son of two English teachers, playing sports endlessly, from grade school through high school and into college. There I discovered acting and in an epiphany, realized who I was, and what I was supposed to do with my life. After graduating from Boston College, I moved to New York City to study with the best acting teacher I could find, Bill Esper, and spent seven years training and doing all kinds of theatre. I then moved to Los Angeles, where I was fortunate enough to meet my wife, a woman who has made me happier than I ever imagined possible. I cannot be around her without smiling. When you meet the person you want to spend the rest of your life with, you realize you already have 95% of what really matters.
