House


Jacob worked on the show House today. He was part of, and I quote from the call sheet “...an adorable lower school chorus singing 'Joy to the World'." Well, check out the picture of Jacob in costume, and come to your own conclusion.

Jacob as Shepherd with beard.

None of the main cast were involved in the shoot, but Jacob did take a picture with Meaghan Jette Martin from Disney's CAMP ROCK.

Jacob and Meaghan

Jacob's episode is called Joy to the World, and should air around Christmas.

Mad Men - Two and a Half Men

We finally have proof that Jacob HAS been working on TV! The Mad Men episode Jacob worked on aired on August 30th (sorry for the delay!) and the Two and a Half Men episode aired this past Monday.

I’ve grabbed some video and pictures from the shows – sorry for the low quality.

Also keep in mind – Jacob is not delivering the soliloquy from Hamlet. He is in the first couple of years of the ‘blink and you missed him’ school of acting.


Mad Men




Keep your eyes on the center of the scene, between Jon Hamm (in the blue shirt) and Matt McKenzie (in the white tennis clothes). Jacob is wearing a golden yellow shirt.


Here is a still from the scene - sorry for the low quality.


This next shot is even shorter. When Don (Jon Hamm) and Crab (Matt McKenzie) are talking, Jacob pops up just to the left of Don for abut 1/4 second.

Here is a freeze frame of Jacob.


An even closer (and blurrier) shot



Two and a Half Men
Now, if you thought those were short, check this out.



When Charlie (Charlie Sheen) enters the door, Jacob can be seen on the far left hand side of the screen - for about 7 frames of video. Keep in mind - One second of video is made up of 30 frames!

Here is a still from the scene. Jacob is is at the edge of the frame on the left side.


Here is a closer shot.

So, after 2 years of working, here's what he has...about 2.1 seconds of screen time!

All kidding aside, Jacob has has, and continues to have a really good time working on the shows and movies . Ann, Jennie and I are very proud of him.

1,000 Lego!

Jacob's first project for the 4th grade was to bring something to class that repesented 1,000. Since this is Jacob we're talking about, he of course chose Lego.

So proud...and goofy too!

Nice work, dude!
