Jackson Davis (born March 19, 1979 in Gloversville, New York) is an American actor. He is best known for portraying the character "Jonas" from the lonelygirl15 videos series, its spinoff KateModern,[2] and its sequel series, LG15: The Resistance.[3] [4] He was born in Gloversville, New York but was raised in Lancaster, Pennsylvania where he attended Ephrata High School. He will star in the upcoming 2009 film You, Only Better..., a movie about life coaches.[5] [6]
