Jesse Bradford has worked with everyone from Leonardo DiCaprio to Clint Eastwood in an acting career spanning almost four decades. A child actor before becoming one of Hollywood’s hottest up and coming young actors in the early 2000s, Jesse has recently starred in the NBC comedy "Guys with Kids" (executive produced by Jimmy Fallon) and the Crackle original series "Sequestered," among other roles.
So, what’s next for a guy who’s old enough to be able to look back, but still young enough to be able to look ahead? Sit back and enjoy this After Hours conversation with actor, musician, renaissance man, Jesse Bradford.
"I feel like I’m a little too weird to always play the leading man, and a little too leading man to always play the weird guy."
