Jonathan Morgan Heit
Jonathan Morgan Heit started his professional acting career at the age of 4 ½. A native of Hollywood, it all started organically as everyone who met him commented that this kid was destined for the entertainment business. He started out doing commercials and episodic television on shows like “ER”, “How I Met Your Mother”, and “Monk” and at the age of 8 booked his first big movie role as the lead in Disney’s “Bedtime Stories” with Adam Sandler. Following that Jonathan had key roles in major movies such as “Date Night”, “Valentine’s Day”, and “The Search for Santa Paws”. And over the past few years, Jonathan has been working on voicing a lead role in Disney’s hit preschool animated series “Jake and the Neverland Pirates” as Cubby. You will also be able to hear him next year as the voice of Kip Super Nova in a major upcoming animated feature film “Escape from Planet Earth” due to hit theaters in February, 2013. In Jonathan’s spare time he is very active in sports and is also dedicated to helping kids around the world. He is involved in many charities including SAG BookPals where he reads to kids in schools, Next Aid where he has started a Kids for Kenya campaign, and of most recent Soles4Souls where he is the first kid ambassador and will be helping to bring shoes to kids in need around the world. When Jonathan grows up, he has aspirations to become a director and has already written and directed two shorts.
