Jesse Townes (he/him)
Doug

Jesse Townes is an actor based in Los Angeles, CA, but he hails proudly from Indianapolis, IN, where he was raised with good mid-western values and good mid-western cheese dippin’ sauce. The latter being something he misses quite dearly. Which is probably why you’ll hear him singing “Back Home Again in Indiana” on repeat, a staple he learned from his a cappella days in Straight No Chaser. But, he does love LA, where he works in the TV and film space. He currently has two films in the festival circuit, with a third slated to release at the end of this year. And you can see him now on the second season of Wild West Chronicles as Benjamin Mudge. If you don’t see him there, chances are you’ll find him at Mother Bear’s during this 2 month stint, dipping breadsticks in the best cheese sauce that’s ever existed. Because LA is incredible – but it’s too d**n healthy.
