During high school, Jamie co-starred on Game On, a sitcom that aired on YTV and was directed by Jacob Tierney. He also starred in the Canadian indie film, Venus, directed by Eisha Marjara. Venus was screened at film festivals all over the world where Jamie won awards for his performance. He continued to work in theatre professionally, originating a role in a new Canadian musical, Prom Queen, (also at the Segal Centre) in 2016. Jamie then entered the world of video game acting, doing voice work and motion capture for two hit video game series: Assassin’s Creed and Watch Dogs. Jamie also attended Stagedoor Manor Performing Arts Training Center for seven summers. Some Stagedoor theatre credits include Spamalot, Les Mis, Grand Hotel, Sweeney Todd, and Guys and Dolls, among many others. After high school, Jamie attended Pace University’s BFA Acting for Film, TV, Voiceover and Commercials program where he graduated Summa Cum Laude. During his time at Pace, Jamie also worked on the new Canadian musical, The Louder We Get, directed by Emmy award winning director Lonny Price. He also appeared on an episode of CBS’s Ghosts.
