Meet Jacob. He’s hilarious, handsome, and pretty much the best thing around.
Major/Minor
Communication Studies major with a Theatre minor
What are you involved with on campus?
I am in the school plays through the theatre department (currently in The Little Prince-shameless plug) as well as other shows with the club Students’ Stage, and I have been on Smile and Nod since last winter. I am also involved with the Newman Center.
Tell us more about what it’s like to be on Smile and Nod!
Being on Smile and Nod is so much fun! Everyone on the team is super supportive of one another and all strive to get better everyday. We meet every week for practices and shows which are always a blast.
What is one thing that should be on everybody’s SLO bucket list?
Everyone who goes through SLO should absolutely pick up a few donuts from SLODOCO. It’s a simple thing, but it’s quintessential to the SLO experience.
Somebody who you really want to see in concert right now?
Childish Gambino would be great or Usher; that’d be cool. Maybe even N’Sync if they are willing to reunite for one last concert featuring their greatest hits.
Favorite show to binge watch on Netflix?
Parks and Rec. Hands down my favorite show.
Anna Kendrick or Jennifer Lawrence?
Anna Kendrick is the celebrity love of my life. Pretty, funny, talented, and loves theatre. Anna, if you’re reading this, hmu.
What is your dream job?
True story: when I was in first grade, we had to draw a picture of “What I want to be when I grow up” and I drew a man holding a baby, and said I wanted to be a daddy. That’s definitely top of the list. But in terms of a career that pays money, I would take a similar route as Andy Samberg: make it on SNL for a while then have a TV show and be in movies. That would be nice.
