Q: Where are you originally from and where are you located now on the map?

Actor Jack Rasmussen

Jack Rasmussen – A: I am from Los Gatos, California (a small town in Northern California). I was born and raised there, so I grew up around big technology companies and competition in Silicon Valley. I now split my time between Avila Beach and Los Angeles. I have spent most of my life in California, besides a brief stint teaching English in Taiwan for a year. I went to school in Los Angeles at the University of Southern California and graduated in 2022. I plan to have a base in Southern California my whole life, but I love to travel. 

Q:  As a rising actor, what motivates and inspires you to be the best at your profession, and what do you love most about acting?

Jack Rasmussen – A: I love the unpredictability and challenge of acting. Working with some coaches and directors throughout the past couple of years, I have come to enjoy the details hidden within a script. I usually love analyzing and understanding people and their wants and needs; acting is another form of doing that. The vulnerability and humaneness of thinking the thoughts of another for someone else is captivating. A story has the power to change the course of someone’s life forever by implanting a cornerstone memory or a directive memory, cementing a new habit or new way of thinking. A film’s lasting weight is immeasurable. It is exciting and enjoyable to be on a set. 

Q: Do you have a top three favorite actors, filmmakers, or directors with whom you want to work in the business?

Jack Rasmussen – A: I have always been drawn to Meryl Streep, Quentin Tarantino, and Christopher Nolan. I am usually drawn to dark, quirky, and unusual themes exploring existentialism, deception, revenge, etc. They are fearless in crossing the line to instill the true meaning behind a brooding character. I like it when a piece of art makes you ponder tirelessly or makes you try on a funny accent. It would be fun to be on set with them. 

Q: What is your favorite genre in your roles (Drama, Comedy, Crime, Action, a little bit of all)?

Jack Rasmussen – A: I like all of them because they are all interrelated in my eyes. I would love to do drama, but I also love comedy. Every horror film is a comedy until someone dies, and every action film is a comedy until a fight scene. I enjoy the dramedy because it blends humor and emotion with grounded characters. I enjoy comedy because I like to laugh; if humans did not laugh, we would not live as long as we do. 

Q: Can you share something people may not know about you? Do you like to do any hobbies or other secret talents in your spare time?

Jack Rasmussen – A: I am a writer. I enjoy writing, researching, and teaching. I am also learning more about music and different languages. I enjoy magic, sports, and the beach. In my free time, I like to read and meditate. I have two best-selling nonfiction books on food and spirituality, and I plan to write more in the future, either in full-length books or shorter forms. 

Q: What projects have you just wrapped up recently, or are you working on? 

Jack Rasmussen – A: I did a short in which I played a mentally ill crime solver and a music video for a song called “Irish Goodbye.” I also recently wrapped up a commercial for Trojan Brand Condoms and Rise of Kingdoms and a Diamond commercial. To help with brand content, I worked with Nissin Chow Mein and Chili’s this spring. I am working on character acting and diving deeper into particular personas.
