Hey, I’m Jake Jennings Smith.
Actor. Dancer. Storyteller. Technician.
I’m a performer rooted in the DMV and New York—but I go where the work calls. I believe the right stories find us, wherever they may be.
I’ve performed Off-Broadway, danced in music videos, worked on-camera, designed lighting, and even served as a technical director (yes, I know how to patch a dimmer board). My path hasn’t been linear—and I like it that way.
With a BFA in Theatre and a minor in Dance, I’ve always been obsessed with movement, emotion, and storytelling. That love connects me to my Native American roots—it’s why I perform: to bring necessary stories to life.
When I’m not on stage or in front of the camera, you’ll find me backstage, in the gym, or sharpening my craft—always working, always learning.
You want grounded? You got it. You want fire? I bring it.
