Jaden Easton

I’m Jaden Easton, an actor, model, and performer with experience in film, television, theater, and stand-up comedy. I hold a BFA in Screenwriting from DePaul University, where I also studied directing, as well as improvisational acting and performance under Carolyn Hoerdemann, and stand-up comedy with Kevin Bozeman. Outside of academics, I attended a scene study course instructed by Shannon Sturges when I was living in LA in 2024. My work spans across film, TV, theatre, modeling and beyond, with acting roles in capstone student projects such as Fuck Harold’s and I Know You Saw it Too, to indie films such as In the Flesh and Homeboy. I also had a featured appearance in season 6 of Netflix’s Cobra Kai. On stage, I’ve performed as a lead in a short play through my alma mater and taken the mic at Chicago’s Laugh Factory for stand-up comedy. Beyond acting, I’ve worked as a model for Palette & Chisel Art Academy. I’ve also showcased my improvisational skills online, starring as an Uber passenger in Baby Uber Driver Prank, a video by RamelWithaR, a Chicago-based YouTube prankster with over one million subscribers. My life experience is my biggest asset – losing my beloved father at a young to addiction has had an everlasting impact on who I am. Recently I’ve begun my gender transition, which I note for casting purposes, as some of my pictures & costuming info. may not align exactly with how I’ll look in the future. Always and forever, I wholeheartedly embrace collaboration in this incredible industry and approach every opportunity with gratitude.
