JESSE WANG Chinese Chairman

Jesse hails from northeast China near the North Korean border where his parents received “re-education” during the cultural revolution. He came to the United States to pursue a medical research career. However, after earning a PhD., he was cast in a national commercial and caught the acting bug...big time! His parents were immensely disappointed upon learning of his career change and demanded an explanation. Jesse simply told them an “Oscar” sounds better than the “Nobel Prize.” Jesse has appeared in numerous national and regional commercials, feature films and television programs and is also an experienced Mandarin instructor and interpreter. He is so grateful that Director Orestes Matacena gave him the opportunity to play one of the most powerful figures on the planet.

From piano and choir to booking and promoting a Rock band and Jazz pianist in Boston, Orna's love for music laid the foundation and served as the inspiration to study both acting and film.

Upon arrival, a new journey began, once again weaving music, acting and filmmaking. While working and taking classes at the Los Angeles Film School, and doing voiceovers and short films as an actor, Orna met the opportunity to manage Latin Jazz percussionist Francisco Aguabella.

In a horror short shot at Rudolph Valentino's still intact “Falcon Lair” property in Beverly Hills, Orna got spooked when she waited upstairs, alone, for her cue to descend a set of winding stairs. While waiting, she dared herself to walk into the dark piano room, but luckily “action” was called, and she exited quickly with extreme fear nipping at her heels!

Watching these veteran actors first hand greatly influenced Viet's work ethic and understanding of acting. Her eloquence earned her a position as a State Secretary for VICA through which she traveled to Washington, D.C. to speak before politicians regarding the importance of education and resources for youth. After college, Viet gave in to her wanderlust and traveled globally. While living abroad, she began assisting backstage at the Brussels American Theater and was bitten again by the acting bug.
