GETTIN' EM!

About Me

The name is James Jolly (pronounced "Joe-Lee"). I'm a Chicago native, born and raised in Uptown/Rogers Park by two beautiful Haitian parents. I moved to the West Coast in the pursuit of continued growth and happiness-oh and uh...acting ;)Now if you'll excuse me...I got a marathon to run...

My Interests

Currently: Traveling...my sights are set on Australia, Thailand, and the Maya Ruins.Live Music.Great dining such as Brazilian food!

I'd like to meet:

More people in the entertainment biz. Wil Smith, you got a myspace page???

..


Reel 3.0
..

Music:

Random shuffle of the Ipod playlist...Feeling: Lil Wayne-Tha Carter III...HOT HOT HOT! John Legend ft Andre 3000 - Green Light, Lupe Fiasco - Hip Hop saved my life (He is WAY underrated).

Movies:

Currently: The Dark Knight...not perfect...but now on my faves movie list. When the movie hits strides...it's GREAT. In combination with a brillant performance by Heath Ledger (could have had more camera time)...makes up for any shortcomings. Despite criticism, Wil Smith is reason enough to see Hancock.

Television:

NBC HEROES! when it comes back on... :(

Books:

The Measure of a Man by Sidney Poitier

Heroes:

Jesus Christ
