Jacob Lindley is a Hoosier born February 18, 1994. He is a freshman and earns straight A's in honors courses. Jacob has received the Academic Excellence Award for straight A's every school year including the 2008-09, 2007-08, and 2006-2007 school years. Being very talented, Jacob is an actor and singer that plays trumpet, as well. He shines as a vocalist. After advancing from District to ISSMA State Vocal Solo Finals he earned a gold rating singing Gi'al Sole dal Gange by Scarlatti. In 2006, he won the Indiana State Fair Hoosier Idol Junior Novelty Division with an drama/song/dance excerpt from "Peter Pan".

Jacob performed in Louisville, Kentucky for Stage One in the role of Edmund in the month-long, musical production of "Narnia". We travelled several miles each day for rehearsals and performances. He maintained A's and A+'s in school even achieving A+'s on two semester tests! (He got a 95% and 96% on the other two!)

He and Aslan were chosen to represent Stage One at Louisville's Benefit for the Arts Fund Raiser singing "From the Inside Out". Members were very impressed; they contacted the artistic director at Stage One to have them do an encore performance for Greater Louisville, Inc.'s chamber meeting in March, 2007.

Jacob has been said to be a Leonardo DiCaprio look alike and has a rich baritone/tenor voice that reminds people of Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby.

He truly loves both acting and singing. Jacob enjoys performing and becoming the character he portrays. He has won the hardest working actor award in the local company that he is with. He has taken acting lessons through John Robert Powers in Louisville where Paul Weber interviewed him and said if he ever gets to California that he would love to cast him. He has studied under Susan Morrele with VSM Productions, as well. He currently takes voice and piano from Tim Reid from Bloomington, IN and previously worked with Sheila O'Bannon from Jeffersonville, Indiana. Jacob has asked for these lessons so that he may be better prepared to be an actor/singer. He would love to work as a film actor; he would be a great Disney kid. However, he eventually wants to make it on Broadway some day, as well.

He is a Boy Scout and earned his "Arrow of Light" Badge as a Cub Scout. He is seeking Eagle Scout.

He is involved with a Christian Youth Group and frequently sings for area churches and community events by request.

He enjoys eating! He has expensive tastes, though! I have not been able to buy from the Kids Menu since he was four! However, he is mindful of fat grams and calories and opts for fruit and drinks water or diet soda.

He is a camera ham! He enjoys being in front of the camera whether it's video or still! As I mentioned before, he loves applause and is not afraid to work very hard to perfect his performance to get it right!

For the first semester of '06-'07, Jacob had straight A's and a few A+'s. He maintained above 97% in all subjects except prealgebra in which he had a 94%! He was travelling for rehearsals and performances in Louisville. During the second semester, Jacob had seven courses and received six A+'s and one A (99%) in his classes. He also was Grand Champion for the Junior High Science Fair! He is amazing!

Jacob strives very hard to do his best at everything he does! He puts 150% into every project he endeavors. He is a perfectionist which for him is a good thing! And as I mentioned in his profile, he truly is a good boy!

Jacob not only aspires to be on Broadway, he also wants to do film work, as well! He would be a great Disney Kid! He would love to serve the Lord by sharing his talents in a Gospel recording one day.
