British-born Jon Jacobs has this wild, eclectic resume that honestly reads like a fever dream for any indie film buff. The guy’s been in over two dozen films—some stylish, some totally bonkers, all of them with that offbeat flavor you just don’t get from Hollywood’s cookie-cutter crowd. F.X. Feeney from LA Weekly basically called his work imaginative as hell and full of surprises. Jacobs doesn’t just act, though; he gets his hands dirty behind the camera, too. His first short, Metropolis Apocalypse, actually landed at Cannes back in ’88, which is no small feat. His first big starring gig? Welcome Says the Angel in 2003, and apparently, Kevin Thomas from the LA Times couldn’t get enough of him. Jacobs even pulled off a double act in Lucinda’s Spell, directing and starring in this festival darling that raised eyebrows all over the place. Dude’s not just about the silver screen, either. He created the “Neverdie” avatar in Entropia Universe, which became this ridiculous phenomenon in the early Metaverse days—kind of legendary, if you ask gamers. He’s rubbed virtual shoulders with icons like Michael Jackson and Lemmy, thanks to his studio’s virtual worlds. Oh, and the whole King Kong and The Thing projects with Universal? Yep, that was him too. Fast forward, he snagged the Outstanding Performance Award at Method Fest in 2019 for Lost Angelas, and in 2023, he bagged the Seymour Cassel Award at Oldenburg for playing Cassian Elwes in Unruly Passenger. Basically, Jon Jacobs is the real deal—always weird, always interesting.
So, Jon, this scrappy little 10-year-old with dreams bigger than his haircut, actually handed a tape of himself belting out tunes to Paul McCartney. Yeah, that Paul. A couple weeks go by, Jon’s probably sweating bullets, and he bumps into Paul again. Kid straight-up asks if Paul listened to it. McCartney’s all, “Huh?” at first, like he’s never seen this kid in his life. Then suddenly, it clicks. Paul remembers: he’s in his car, meeting up with some music producer, feeling all cool about playing his latest demo. Pops in a cassette—except, plot twist, it’s not his song at all. It’s Jon, crooning “Heartbreak Hotel” like he owns the place. Imagine Paul’s face, expecting his own genius, but instead, he gets a kid channeling Elvis. Classic mix-up. Honestly, you can’t make this stuff up—it’s too good.
referencennMost folks have this nonstop chatter echoing in their minds, right? Doesn’t matter if you’re some Wall Street hotshot or just a random guy riding the subway. Everyone’s got their own weird mix of worries, daydreams, and replaying old arguments. But the second you let any of that slip out—just a whisper, or even worse, if you actually start talking to yourself out loud? People flip. Suddenly, you’re the “crazy” one, like you’ve broken some unwritten rule. It’s wild how just moving your lips or muttering a few words can make everyone around you act like you’ve sprouted a third eye. Still, the real kicker is, most of those people judging you? They’re just better at hiding their own mental circus. Society’s got this whole double standard about what’s “normal,” but honestly, who gets to decide that?
