Originally a musical prodigy, Jacobs began his acting journey at a young age, taking his first steps when his mother enrolled him in acting classes as a child. His first opportunity in front of the camera came in a Hot Wheels commercial, prompting him to move to Hollywood in 2015 to really bring his acting to the next level. In no time at all, he started to gain traction as an up-and-comer in the acting sphere.
His first credited role came in the 2016 film Hooky, which he followed up with a spot in the short film Remnants. Meanwhile, he also started to dive into the television world for a handful of episodes of the Hawaii Five-0 reboot, Castle Rock, and God Unfriended Me. This was all great experience to gain in two different mediums, but he hadn't found his niche just yet in a major blockbuster. Thankfully for Jacobs, his big break was right around the corner, courtesy of director Andy Muschietti.
