A 21-year-old native New Yorker, Jonan Everett made his film debut in HBO's "Angel Rodriguez.". Developing his interest in acting while still in grade school, Jonan went on to appear in plays at the Harlem School of the Arts and has since been a constant pupil of the dramatic arts.

Critics said of Jonan Everett in Angel Rodriguez: "Jonan Everett carries the movie. His face and eyes are transparent as he veers from normal adolescent angst to unchanneled rage to goofiness with his buddies. Everett is right in the moment throughout." "Played with brooding brilliance by Jonan Everett" "Jonan Everett in his first film role, gives an impossibly nuanced performance." "Revelatory performance by Everett, whose quiet presence dominates the screen."

Everett's experience working on "Angel Rodriguez" has also sparked an interest in filmmaking. He is currently working on several screenplays that deal with the human psyche and the perspective of truth. This is the staple behind the vision of his film production company VeritasCinemaworks.

Aside from his love for cinema Jonan is an accomplished guitarist and comic illustrator. While continuing his acting studies in college, Jonan teaches a film class to New York City teens.
