JONATHAN DREW

Born in Maracaibo, Venezuela to a Venezuelan mother and American father, Jonathan had a non traditional upbringing. He was raised between South America and the US for his first years in life but ultimately settled in Kentucky as a result of his parents divorce. While raised in rural Kentucky, Jonathan Drew Taylor's father would reprimand him by calling his first and middle name only, as Jonathan misbehaved. Eventually the bad boy moniker stuck and he went by Jonathan Drew. At the age of four he began to sketch and illustrate. At seven, he received a dirt bike and began his lifelong love for motorcycles while also playing various sports including football until he suffered a spine injury at sixteen that ended football for him. Convinced he needed help others like him, he excelled and majored in Biology and went into PreMed studies at the University of Kentucky.

 

But while he loved the subject, it didn't fulfill him so he decided to move to New York City to pursue the arts. He took on various odd jobs to make ends meet which included signing with the esteemed Re:Quest Models Agency then some time later Click Models NYC.  Eventually he found his way into an acting class at HB Studios. However it wasn't until he studied with famed acting coach/teacher Sheila Gray that he found his way. In her studios he honed his craft and began to take on heavy character work.

​

To this day he is a working actor and visual artist splitting his time between New York City and Atlanta and you can usually catch him riding his Harley Davidson or driving his Jeep Wrangler.
