Jake Guerrero

Jacob Guerrero is a Chicago based actor born on August 30th, 1990 in Blue Island, IL, USA to his mother, Leticia Montoya-Guerrero, and father Matthew Guerrero. Jake is the second oldest of his two sisters and three brothers. He first became interested in acting at the age of 8 but never thought to attend any auditions for any of the school plays. His passion and curiosity for acting grew stronger during his junior and senior year in high school, where he attended Dwight D. Eisenhower High School, while taking a t.v. production/broadcast class. After graduating high school Jake took interest in law enforcement and had taken security training as well as taking a few different police tests which included departments located in Iowa and south suburbs of Chicago. Although a future in that field seemed bright, he lost interest after marrying his wife, Claudia Hernandez-Guerrero, and having his two children, Noah & Natasha Guerrero, and feared for his and their safety. It wasn't until March of 2014, Jake decided to pursue a career in acting and follow a passion he has had since he was 8 years old. Although just starting out, Jake has had numerous background and extra roles for student films, independent films, and even television shows such as Fox's new television series Empire and NBC hit series Chicago Fire. His first actual role was for a short film called Oblivia (2014) taking the part as a savage fighter. Jake has recently worked on an independent student film called the Strokes of Life taking the role of a character named Luis, and has also received a small featured spot on another NBC hit television show Chicago P.D. (2014).
