[Biography Courtesy of IMDB] Jesse Kozel has been acting on stage and screen since an early age. Growing up in the small town of Dunellen, New Jersey, he was able to test his stage ability in small productions. He has always been interested in all forms of entertainment whether in front of or behind the scenes. Jesse volunteered in many community theatre plays after graduating high school in Bradenton, Florida. He had roles in "Kiss of the Spiderwoman", "Victor/Victoria", "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" and many others. He remained in Florida pursuing acting & screen writing while mixing his time between Film projects and theme park roles. He constantly is pushing the limits of any role he is given. After seeing his work in "For Christ's Sake", it will be difficult to deny that he is a passionate and devoted actor.

"For Christ's Sake" is currently in production in Sarasota, Florida and everyone involved is extremely excited. We have horror movie icon Debbie Rochon in our female lead. There also rising stars Michael Kenneth Fahr, Nicola Fiore and Jesse Kozel as “The Clone of Jesus Christ". We are also lucky enough to have cameos by Peter Stickles, Monique Dupree, Joel D. Wynkoop and filmmaker Jason Liquori!! This movie promises to be completely unlike all the other low budget scare fare that's choking the market as our film will contain a main cast of characters that are both straight and gay with no stereotypes. Also, the subject matter is extremely controversial. Plus to top it all off, we have a lead villain that, I promise you, is unlike anything you've ever seen before in the horror genre.
Please be sure and check out our official teaser trailer. Thanks and keep an eye out for future "For Christ's Sake" news. Don't be a stranger!!
Taking the world by storm, one role at a time!
