Jesse Boone

Jesse Boone, though normally known for his friendly demeanor, shameless optimism, and sense of humor is known for playing a dynamic variety of roles. Most recently, he spread his villainous chops as a drug-addicted murderer on the run in the first season of CBS' new show "NCIS: Origins." He also played a diabetic neo-Nazi in CBS' "NCIS: Los Angeles," a sleazy law student in Apple TV's third season of "Truth Be Told," and a well-meaning, neighborly police officer in UrbanFlix TV's new show "Cocaine Sisters." Jesse appeared in Investigation Discovery's fourth season of "Betrayed." Jesse plays Chris, a goofy yet friend-zoned pet store employee whose unrequited love interest is eventually murdered by a coworker. Sweet Chris is haunted by the murder, as he never told his crush how he truly felt about her. In addition to those listed, Jesse has a robust resume of almost over 200 credits. In 2018, Jesse won "Best Acting Duo" with Wes Newman at the Independent Short Awards.
