Her major voice over works are Google Pixel Help Video, "Mettle Creek" (animation) and "Metanoid" (animation on adult swim https://youtu.be/p0zQ_IHW8ZI) . If anyone asks her what the craziest thing she has done on stage was, she would say it was when she ate paper (edible) in an art installation performance at Swiss Institute.

JESSE METZ (Charlie) is a New York based actor, director, and all around creative. He is thrilled to be making his spit&vigor debut. While Jesse has performed in many different capacities and mediums throughout his career, he feels most at home on the stage. Past credits include The Vandal, Peter and the Starcatcher, and Spring Awakening. When not creating art, Jesse can be found engaging in political activism, cheering for his Detroit sports teams, and grooving along to live music. Jesse invites you all to be bold, be brave, and keep an open mind. Love to all, but mostly to Toothless, his cat.
