About (full)
Theo Jacques is a European screen, stage, and voice actor and a LAMDA Gold Medal winner.
"My soul is filled by exploring everything that life has to offer. I need to see the world through different eyes, accept challenges, learn, create, observe, and experience fully.
I also have hobbies though, like singing, taking photos with my analog camera, working out, traveling, seeking new adventures, and just trying new things overall. Oh, and watching a film every day if I can. Obsessive?! Maybe…"
Theo's desire to learn from and connect with the industry departments and filmmakers has led him to sometimes work in production over the years and in casting, now with Cast Wanted in Prague, Czech Republic.
LIFE (just a bit more, if you want it):
Although Theo's early childhood was complicated, however, no difficulty could deter him, but rather supported him in his profound love of the arts and in becoming a strong and experienced individual.
He found his way to the arts by joining his school choir, leading to solo concerts and a healthy devotion to music. While at grammar school, he was drawn to acting by joining the school‘s drama club and by playing in student films. This led to his decision to seek a career in the film industry. Initially, he worked as a background actor for a few projects and as a crew member for companies such as Amazon Studios, HBO, and Marvel Studios while learning the mechanics of being on a professional movie set.
In 2020, after attending various acting courses, he completed a LAMDA-accredited exam and got his Gold Medal (Grade 8, Level 3) at "Distinction mark".
Ever since then, he’s worked on dozens of projects that’ve made him grow both personally and professionally.
WHY ACTING?
"What attracts me to acting is that I can challenge myself, express my creativity, and discover parts of myself and the world through the role I choose to portray. I enjoy analyzing other people's behavior and learning new skills, and I love the feeling and complete immersion of becoming a specific and believable character.
I love the audience relating to the story and character and finding common ground; realizing that they're not alone and can dive into the world we create. Acting serves me as a form of expression of my own experience as well as an escape from my own life."
