Blake Jenner, a multifaceted individual hailing from Miami, Florida, was instilled with a passion for entertainment from a young age, drawing inspiration from the likes of Jim Carrey and Michael Jackson. As a child, he discovered his creative outlet in writing short stories and acting them out at school, ultimately deciding to pursue a career in acting.
Throughout his middle school and high school years, Blake dedicated his spare time to honing his craft, taking acting classes, and participating in advertisements. Additionally, he showcased his talents in school plays, laying the groundwork for his future endeavors.
In pursuit of his dream, Blake relocated to Los Angeles, California, where he simultaneously attended junior-year classes during the day and senior-year classes online at night, allowing him to graduate early and dedicate himself fully to his acting career.
To support himself, Blake took on various jobs, including waiting tables, working as a clothing-store associate, and even holding positions in the fast-food and pet industries. Despite facing numerous auditions, his perseverance paid off when he landed a guest-starring role as Miller Collins on the ABC family sitcom Melissa & Joey in 2010.
This breakthrough role introduced Blake to the world of television, and he soon found himself featured as Ryder, the star football player and lead vocalist, during the fourth season of the Fox hit Glee in 2009.
