The youngest in a family of performing artists, J.G. Smith grew up on stages across the country and graduated with honors from NYU Tisch. J.G.'s film debut as a jaded teen in KNIVES AND SKIN brought international acclaim including premieres at Berlinale and TriBeCa, a feature in People Magazine, and a shout-out from Richard Roeper. Additional highlights include scene-stealing roles for NBC and MTV, multiple national commercials, and an Audience Award at Chicago Fringe Festival. JGSmithActor.com, IG @jgsmiff
