Jarrett started his professional acting career at the age of 4 after his mother gave in to a constant barrage of people, with Ed Asner as the final straw, suggesting he had a natural talent for acting. After booking a national commercial and a television mini-series (his first and second auditions ever), it became all too clear that acting was exactly what he needed to do.His career picked up from there and he worked steadily throughout his childhood, collecting regular praise for his natural deliveries and keen ability to take direction even as a small child. For most of his career, Jarrett (Jett to his friends) was advised to outright avoid acting classes so as not to risk his technique being changed by outside views. Later, at the age of 13, he took a masters' class from Kevin Robert McDermott intended for young actors aged 15 and up.Jarrett eventually took a break from the unsteady employment of acting to raise a family, switching his hobby of technology to his career in full-time IT support and moving acting to the side. However it never fully left him. His passion for the craft carried him onto the stage where he starred in and directed a variety of plays, held recurring roles in popular web series, guested on (and produced, wrote, and edited) a variety of podcasts and more.In 2015, on the equivalent of a self-dare, Jarrett took an improv class at iO West with Brian James O'Connell that changed his life. Working his way through various classes at iO, Pack Theater, Revolution Theater, and more, with such teachers and coaches as Paul Vaillancourt, Craig Cackowski, Shulie Cowen, and Chris Alvarado, Jarrett found a deeply-renewed vigor for performance and a newfound skill in long-form improv. With close friends he built an indie team called The Feel Good Not Bad Death Laser that toured Southern California, playing over 100 shows in its first year alone, and working its way up to main-stage status at iO West, Revolution Theater, and ACME Comedy. Once the world changed, he and his teammates from the award-winning improv show ALLEGEDLY... moved online to form The Super Legit Podcast which he hosts and edits.It's with the experience, skills, character work, and encouragement he received in the improv community that Jarrett excitedly began his return to professional acting after a minor 15-year break. He's eager to show everything life has taught him during his time away, and prove he was more than simply "good for a kid."
