Since the finale of the show, Jacob continued his showcase across a wide range of projects. He recorded voice overs on King of the Hill and Surf's Up, guest starred on CSI, House, and Transformers: The Last Knight, worked on a variety of new media projects, including Legendary Digital's first acquired film The Hive, and booked six national commercials last year, a highlight being Subaru, directed by BAFTA award winner Lance Acord.
