Wesley Jonathan Biography (2)
Born in Walnut Creek, California, Jonathan was 4 years old when his family moved to Germany. By the time the family returned to the U.S. three years later, his mother knew Jonathan was determined to pursue his dream of being a performer.
After signing with an agent, Jonathan booked his first job at age 7 in a Melissa Manchester music video and by age 8 made a guest appearance on the series 21 Jump Street. From that point on, he has worked consistently and has made appearances on several television series including Boston Public, Felicity and NYPD Blue.
Though most comfortable on the small screen, Jonathan has appeared on the big screen in the comedy High School High, the crime-thriller Unlawful Entry and Panther, which was directed by Mario Van Peebles. He will reunite with Van Peebles in the feature Gettin' The Man's Foot Out... to be released later in the year, along with the crime drama The United States of Leland, co-starring Kevin Spacey and Don Cheadle.
When he is not working, Jonathan enjoys working on personal music projects and donating his time to a variety of children's charities. He currently resides in Los Angeles.
