Jakob Gruntfest is an actor/singer/musician from Wilmington, NC. At a very young age, his passion for the arts was born through his many repeated viewings of High School Musical, which he enjoyed with his older sisters. After his first live performance as a wolf in The Jungle Book Jr. in 2015, Jakob was hooked on acting and never looked back, performing in 40+ plays/musicals and numerous film/TV productions since. What he loves most about theatre/film is the empathy it can inspire, allowing people from all walks of life to understand one another on a deeply human level.
