Jake Pizza was born and raised in Toledo, Ohio. From a young age, Jake loved to use his imagination to tell stories. He was a key player in his local Young Life community and would write and perform a new comedy sketch every week. He also had a passion for parkour and freerunning. This skill set brought him all over the country to train with professionals and build his creativity as a filmmaker.

When Jake graduated high school he moved to West Palm Beach, Florida where he turned his hobbies into a career. He studied Cinema Arts at Palm Beach Atlantic University and absorbed as much as he could about directing, writing, editing, and anything in the production sphere. His main passion for acting was satisfied through short films and being a cast member in the comedy group, Monday Night Live. Every semester he would write sketches and perform them before the whole university. After serving one year as a cast member and writer, Jake was promoted to Director of Live Sketches. He loved using his creativity to help his fellow cast members carry the vision for each sketch.

After graduating in the fall of 2021, Jake moved to Los Angeles, California to pursue his career as an actor.
