Biography
Jesse Kozel has been acting on stage and screen since an early age. Growing up in the small town of Dunellen, New Jersey, he was able to test his stage ability in small productions.

He has always been interested in all forms of entertainment whether in front of or behind the scenes.

Jesse volunteered in many community theatre plays after graduating high school in Bradenton, Florida. He had roles in "Kiss of the Spiderwoman", "Victor/Victoria", "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" and many others. He remained in Florida pursuing acting & screen writing while mixing his time between Film projects and theme park roles.

In mid-2006 to early 2007 Kozel competed in an online competition to cast a feature film by an Online Community. The film was to be called LiveMansion: the movie, named after the website. Hosted by Ckrush Entertainment and eventually Director Spike Lee joined as a producer.

After the months auditions, Jesse was voted by the community as one of the top 3 actors to fill the role of Envin. The auditions of each of the top 24 actors was reviewed publicly by actors John Leguizamo, Cara Buono and Al Palagonia. Though he did not finish in the top place after the final round of voting, this competition only pushed him harder to pursue his dream.
