Jesse LeBeau is an American actor, street ball player, and motivational speaker. He grew up on a small island in Alaska that had no roads or stores. Every day he had to commute by small boat to get 'to town' for school. At a young age he developed a love for sports, particularly basketball as the warm and well lit gymnasium provided a great sanctuary from the often inclement weather conditions. Since moving to LA his basketball skills have helped get his foot in the door in the entertainment industry, landing starring roles in commercials for Kobe Bryant and with other NBA players such as Dwayne Wade, Rajon Rondo, Blake Griffin and Amare Stoudemire. Jesse made his movie debut in the Warner Brother's film Thunderstruck starring NBA All-Star Kevin Durant. He has become a name in the world of street ball playing in nationally televised games on Fox Sports Net against the best players in world. Playing under the nickname 'Spin Cycle' he has had the opportunity to be coached by Matt Barnes Chauncey Billups and Dennis Rodman to name a few. Working with kids and giving back to the community is very close to his heart. He puts on basketball camps for youth in rural parts of Alaska. Jesse's passion for inspiring and encouraging kids is something that drives him to excel. He aspires to create the largest platform he can allowing him to positively influence the lives of as many people (particularly the youth) as possible. In his spare time, Jesse enjoys doing motivational speaking and writing about experiences in his own life with the hope to inspire others to follow their dreams.
