Jacob Huey Correa was born and raised in Southern California. Obsessing over movies from 5-years-old on into his adolescence, he eventually got his start in entertainment at the age of 13 after being cast on-stage in the Festival of Arts Pageant of the Masters in Laguna Beach, California in 2009 (that year's show run titled, "The Muse"), in which he portrayed a horseman in Rosa Bonheur's painting, "The Horse Fair".
Jacob went on to continue performing on the stage in high school, after joining the La Jolla High Drama Department in San Diego, where he starred in shows such as John Bishop's "Musical Comedy Murders of 1940" (in the role of Eddie) and Ken Ludwig's "Lend Me A Tenor" (in the role of Max) as well as costarred in shows such as Jim Jacobs' & Warren Casey's "Grease" (in the role of Roger) and Shirley Lauro's "A Piece of My Heart" (as a key ensemble member). In an effort to deepen his education for performance, Jacob went on to become an alumni of the La Jolla Playhouse Conservatory in 2012, where he studied in an acting intensive lead by then-Director, James Pillar.
After acting in numerous more theater productions in the years to come, Jacob moved to Los Angeles, California in 2018 to pursue a film career. In 2022, he became an alumni of Los Angeles Film School in Hollywood, having studied courses Film Production with the intention of learning the ins and outs of the filmmaking process.
Jacob's 2022 roles include his notable role in colleague Ethan Grover's short film, "Counterpart", which was nominated at Cannes Short Film Festival and won at Sunset LA Film Festival in 2023.
Jacob's favorite sports include swimming, soccer, volleyball, surfing, paddle boarding and snowboarding. He added yoga after completing the La Jolla Playhouse Conservatory in 2012, due to being forced to practice yoga for an hour every day for 6 weeks straight as part of the curriculum for Movement courses for actors. Jacob has also taken up photography in his free time.
