Jim Grollman, a talented individual hailing from Washington, D.C., marked the beginning of his television acting career with a notable role as Jerry Jempson, a peculiar and cocaine-affected killer, in the pilot episode of the acclaimed TV series "Homicide: Life on the Street", directed by the renowned Barry Levinson, who garnered an Emmy award for his exceptional direction.
Following his impressive start, Jim pursued a Master of Fine Arts degree in Acting from The Catholic University of America, before relocating to New York City, where he honed his craft in off-Broadway productions and shared the screen with the esteemed James Earl Jones in the television movie "What the Deaf Man Heard", playing the role of Byron, a hapless Southern police officer.
As his career progressed, Jim made the decision to migrate to Los Angeles and took on the role of Adjunct Professor, teaching the only accredited course in Stand-Up comedy at Cerritos Community College. His dedication to his students earned him a prominent feature in the award-winning documentary "Freaks of Laughter", which showcases his unique teaching approach.
Throughout his career, Jim has successfully portrayed a wide range of quirky characters, while also demonstrating his versatility by appearing in dramatic roles on shows such as "Rizzoli and Isles" and "Perception". More recently, he reprised his role as Stevie in the critically acclaimed production of "Criminal Genius" at the Hollywood Fringe Festival.
However, Jim's most significant accomplishment to date has been meeting his wife and welcoming a son, who, surprisingly, retired from acting at the tender age of five to focus on his athletic pursuits.
