Hi, I’m Jesse!
I’ve been working in the entertainment industry for over 10 years. My goal has always been to create, whether that be behind the mic, in front of the camera, on stage, or through my words.

Welcome to my site!
Thanks for sharing your story with us Jesse. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
For sure! I started in entertainment by acting in film/TV projects that were happening in the Washington, DC area as I was growing up. I have a B.A. in Communication: Media Production & Criticism with a minor in Theater/Acting from George Mason University…
As targeted by a skit on Netflix show ‘I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson,’ the male tendency to pull on shirts has become a pop cultural pressure point
IN THE SECOND EPISODE of I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson, a Netflix sketch show that premiered in April 2019, you’ll find a skit devoted to T.C. Tuggers, the shirt “with the little knob on the front.”
In this episode of Picture Lock Unlocked, host Kevin Sampson talks with WERA 96.7 FM Radio Coordinator, Jesse Robinson about acting in the DMV. Jesse talks about his influences as a character actor, and reflects on a special meeting with the great Robin Williams.
Shoutout LA: Jesse Robinson - Actor, Story Producer &Comedian
…With comedy, you’ll know immediately if your risk pays off. It is the harshest and quickest example of risk-reward. My risk can either translate to instant gratification or instant rejection, and for some crazy reason I absolutely love that. The reverberations of that risk’s success or failure, as I mentioned before, can be long-lasting as well. If you are constantly killing with solid material, you’ll get booked on more and more shows. You can imagine what the case is if you constantly bomb. I currently work as a story producer, SAG actor and broadcast operations specialist in Los Angeles. As an actor I’ve had the fortune of appearing in national commercials and a handful of TV shows, and as a writer/story producer I’ve been able to create and develop segments for TV networks nationally. As a stand up comedian I’ve been able to feature on shows at many LA clubs (HaHa Comedy Club, The Comedy Store, etc) and even feature on a few west coast comedy tours. None of that would have been, or could continue to be possible without risk…
…LA brought new opportunities in entertainment for Jesse, leading him to join SAG-AFTRA after appearances in several national commercials and TV bit parts. Jesse has also found opportunities on the production side of television, having associate-produced and written for a CBS lifestyle program and story produced a docu-reality series currently in post-production. Later this year, he will appear in an episode of Swagger! on Apple TV.
Jesse also enjoys performing stand up comedy, and has been able to feature at venues like The Comedy Store, HaHa Comedy Club and more in LA, as well as a handful of east, west coast tours….
