Jesse Scott Nelson was born February 17 in Rogers, Arkansas. Growing
up, he lived in Texas, Oklahoma, Germany, and all around southeast
Georgia before moving out to California in pursuit of acting. Moving
often as a child, caused Mr. Nelson to see how people are so different,
but essentially the same, as well. This also instilled a sense of
adventure and a love of the road. If given the opportunity, Mr. Nelson
prefers to drive rather than fly because there's an intimacy between
the road and the driver that you can't get in an airplane. During his
high school years, Mr. Nelson was in every play the drama department
offered, as well as every dramatic interpretation competition, in which
he won 1st place at regionals. In 11th grade, Hollywood came to Georgia
in the feature film Undertow. While waiting to audition for a
background role, Mr. Nelson met the Director David Gordon Green
(Pineapple Express, Your Highness). Mr. Green said that Jesse was too
old for the background role but liked him enough that he wrote a part
for him anyway. After high school, Mr. Nelson moved out to Los Angeles
to start his career. However, Georgia Southern University offered him a
full ride scholarship if he came back. Mr. Nelson's interest in people
influenced his decision to get a B.S. degree in Psychology. Throughout
college, he participated in many theatrical endeavors as well as taking
several acting classes.
After college, Mr. Nelson loaded up his 1997 Red Pontiac Firebird headed out for the west coast. Since then, he has become a proud member of SAG-AFTRA. Since his arrival, Mr., Nelson has worked on several indie films and continues to collaborate with other acting focus groups. Currently, Mr. Nelson has found another passion, writing. He is currently (2014) working on writing and filming the 1st season of his webseries, Roomshare.
