Jesse Bouma

Brought up in both rural Tasmania and suburban Melbourne, Jesse has developed the ability to reflect and subvert a spectrum of masculine traits and behaviours, by and large ranging from bold to repressed in nature. Moving to Melbourne in 2013, He began his work in the theatre, starring in classics such as Romeo & Juliet and The Twelfth Night, and contemporary plays such as Roberto Zucco. Upon graduating from 16th Street's Part-Time Program, Jesse hit the ground running being offered the role of 'Cameron' in Alkinos Tsillmidos' 'The Taverna', and began building his reputation through his work in numerous independent films such as the leading role of 'Alex' in indie horror, 'What Goes Around'. With the benefit of rugged leading man looks and charm, Jesse is a versatile actor who is often cast in intense or intimidating roles. Sport has been a constant outlet for Jesse, and although proficient in most, AFL remains his favourite, having played in several representative sides throughout the years. He is also a competent guitarist having studied music for over five years. Outside of his studies and independent film work, Jesse has worked as a bartender across Melbourne, and is well accustomed to strange characters and conflicts after hours. Making himself and others laugh is a love of Jesse's, and is symptomatic of a mischievous vein in his personality. In his free time he develops and shoots sketch comedy for his YouTube Channel. Jesse also has experience in radio, hosting shows in Tasmania and Melbourne. Show less «
