Jesse Vint个人资料

Jesse Vint has done major parts in over a hundred films and television shows. Bored with his business classes at Oklahoma University arrived by Greyhound bus, and after studying acting for over a year he auditioned at the famed Actor's Studio with his brother Alan. According to Lee Strasberg's book "The Actor's Studio" only one in a thousand were being accepted at the time. Both Alan and Jesse were accepted. (The odds of this happening are 1000 squared, or a million to one.) Both studied there for years, and then both starred in a film that broke box office records across America in 1974 called Macon County Line. He is an honored lifetime member of both the Academy Motion Picture Arts & Sciences and the Academy Television Arts & Sciences. He has worked with such Academy Award winners and nominees as Dustin Hoffman, Jack Nicholson, Paul Newman, Charlton Heston, James Garner, Bruce Dern, and many others. He attends the Oscars and the Emmy's often. Jesse has had five screenplays go to screen that were distributed internationally, and produced & directed two films that played worldwide. Jesse won the World Celebrity Chess Championship in 1988 held at the Century Plaza in Los Angeles. Out of twenty-three contestants he was undefeated. Adam Baldwin placed second, and William Windom placed third. To this day he is the reigning champion. Jesse sometimes teaches acting in Portland, and has written a book called, The Film Actor's Handbook. He currently lives in Portland Oregon where he recently completed an episode of Grimm, and several SAG independent films. His favorite things are canoeing, kayaking, salmon fishing, burning up the Columbia river in his speedboat, traveling, and riding the bullet trains in Europe.
