Tyler James Jacobs

Tyler Jacobs was born in Ellensburg, Washington to Cindy Jacobs and Don Jacobs. Tyler began his film work with an old DVC Camcorder that had a broken Mic. Spending about a year making silent movies with his dog Toni, Tyler began playing fun at the film industry with sarcastic spoofs. After the death of his Dog, Tyler wanted to make a whole bunch of films as fast as he could. Grabbing his sister's new camera, he filmed and filmed, making around 30 short films within the two months, thus began Tyler's newly named company, Tar Wars Incorporated. Approaching the 8th Grade Tyler began film work with his still Best Friend, Ian MacKenzie. Tyler, Ian and friend Tanner Brown, began work on a TV show called, "The Toni Show." It was a skit show that revolved around a series of news shows and fake ads. Toward the end of that year, Ian and Tyler had an idea for a new show, a show that would revolutionize Tyler's film work. The show was called, "The School", and it was supposed to be a spoof off of, "The Office." After filming two failed episodes, Ian and Tyler gave up on the school and the year ended; Then came High School. Tyler had the dream to join a film club at Tumwater High School, but they didn't have one. So Tyler made one and made himself President. The first act of the film club which Tyler named, Tar Wars Inc; redo "The School", getting around 30 volunteers, Tyler and Ian filmed the First season of the school within 3 weeks, the episodes included, a Pilot, A Halloween episode, one where Tyler "dies", and 5 other episodes. After the show Tyler got a new camera, instead of filming a new season, Tyler and Ian thought on a new TV show the would call, Brotherly Love, it would be another Skit Show that they could film during lunch time. After a month of filming and 3 seasons, Tyler was done with Brotherly love and had the idea for Saturday School. Saturday School had the tagline, "It's not The School, it just has the name in it", Tyler and Ian filmed Saturday School with their new equipment and new editing skills, in order to bring back the glory they had with The School. Saturday School was over advertised and resulted in 3 seasons, a trivia game and a selection of yearly calendars. Saturday School also got special recognition for it's humor and creativity at the 2009 State Thespian Conference. But one bus ride to Seattle had Tyler convincing Ian to bring back The School, it would be better than ever, and have funnier dialogue and better stories. While the funnier dialogue was true the stories definitely wen't down in quality but the fandom began increasing. One year later, They had filmed 4 more seasons of The School, which was around 52 more episodes. Tyler Jacobs' Sophomore year of High School had him making several more short films which included his Award Winning Monologue in the film, "Gentlemen of Grace County", and his Comedic Mini Series, "Cedar Park." Junior Year won Tyler several National Film nominations for his Film, "The Legend of Chet Guns" and a best Male Lead Actor, Best Script award for the Play, "A Family Affair." Tyler's Junior Year of High School also brought him, "Cowboys and Love", "Taking Class; the Legend of Herman Westerfield", and many other cult Tyler Jacobs' films. Tyler also changed the name of his film company to: Oval Industries. Perhaps Tyler's most notable year in high School was his Senior Year, when Tyler won best Dramatic Film for his work in, "What People Do". In Tyler's senior year he was hit with some attacks from the high school. His Theatre Teacher, Robin Tuckett, found Tyler's work, Racist and Offensive. She didn't feel it was appropriate for the High School Level. Tyler and a large group of Staff at Tumwater High School disagreed with Robin Tuckett, and argued with her decision to Remove the character of "Roshki" from Tyler's award winning play, "When Tom Came To Dinner." Robin felt Roshki was an inappropriate character because he was Indian but not being played by an actual Indian. Listening to her request, Tyler removed Roshki from the play, but it didn't end there. At the State Conference, Tyler told Kevin Myron, The actor playing Roshki, to have a different name, "Ben Ludacre" and to not speak with an accent. Kevin listened and the play went fine. However Robin Tuckett's daughter spread a rumor that Kevin didn't listen and played Roshki instead. Facing an angry Robin Tuckett, Tyler and Kevin began a grudge match against their inflamed Teacher. The following events are not ones Tyler and Kevin are proud of but they did them anyway. Being the State Theatre Representative for Washington, Tyler had the job to choose between short films high schools had chosen about Theatre Respect and how to keep a theatre clean, of course when Kevin and Tyler had thrown together a Roshki's guide to theatre. Tyler had to choose it. Playing in front of Thousands of people a Roshki romp of fun, Tyler and Kevin weren't done. They then made a song called, "Everybody do the Roskhi", which was played at the State Dance. Robin Tuckett was so angry she kicked the entire Tumwater High School out of the state conference, sending every member's parents an email saying, "your child participated in racist activity." Even Ian and Marisa, people who weren't even involved. Trying to leave this whole event behind him, Tyler continued his film work for the year, and won another best script award. After leaving Washington for Oklahoma Christian University to study Film; Tyler had completed 6 TV shows, Been kicked out of a state conference and made around 120 short films within his high school career. As of September 2013, Tyler lives in Oklahoma with is Friend Seth Cartwright, working on his new Sitcom, "Good Young Parenting" which is a spin off of, "When Tom Came To Dinner"
