Full Wesley Jonathan Biography
Born Wesley Jonathan Waples in Walnut Creek, California, outside San Francisco, is of African American descent. Jonathan's parents divorced at the age four. As a child, he spent four years living in Germany and traveling throughout Europe which gave him an open view of different various groups of people and their cultures with his mother and two siblings. He started his first role out in the Keenen Ivory Wayans blaxploitation film, I'm Gonna Git You Sucka. He is the middle of three children including his two sisters, Rachel and Octavia. He went to public school until his senior year and had to finish the year home schooled. Jonathan enjoys basketball, volleyball, swimming, singing, and dancing.
Moving back to the United States, Jonathan spent long periods in front of the television learning lines from various sitcoms and movies. He became so persistent in his demand to be on television that his mother met with one of the family members, cousin Crystal, who suggested to seek him an agent. Jonathan landed his first job in a music video at the age 8 for an artist named Melissa Manchester. Soon after, he began working on 21 Jump Street, which also starred Holly Robinson and Johnny Depp. He traveled to Canada, where the show was being filmed. Acting quickly became a career for Jonathan as he landed numerous of commercials and guest starring roles. This broad range of television made Jonathan considerably more seasoned than more of his peers. The pleasant ensemble of both comedy and dramatic films demonstrated the impressive range of acting talent that Jonathan exhibits. However, despite his fledgling film career, Jonathan is more comfortable on the small screens in front of enthusiastic live-studio audience.
Jonathan signed with Dr. Dre's Aftermath Entertainment in 1996 for a record deal, but no record was released; in 1998, he was released from Aftermath. A year later, he was signed by Columbia Records and released his first album. |
