Jacob had a long and distinguished career in law enforcement, serving at San Quentin State Prison and retiring as a Sergeant in 2022. If there is a gun, he's probably familiar with how to handle it. When you’ve seen what he's seen, you don’t ‘play’ a character—you live in their skin and he brings that unflinching truth to every story worth telling, whether it's a lawyer or a bad guy. He plays characters who walk a razor's edge between good and evil, Think Dean Norris from Breaking Bad.
