The Staffa Corner Podcast

Episode 45

Guest: Jet Jurgensmeyer

What truly shapes a child actor’s journey through Hollywood into adulthood? Jet Jurgensmeyer—who began performing at just three years old—offers  insights into growing up in the entertainment industry while somehow managing to keep both feet firmly on the ground.

From his first role at age four to his family’s decision to move to California when he was five, Jet shares the behind-the-scenes reality of his childhood in the spotlight. Unlike the cautionary tales we often hear, his story reveals how thoughtful parenting and maintaining strong connections to home created a foundation that allowed him to thrive both professionally and personally.

He recounts meaningful encounters with established stars like Sean Hayes who treated him as a professional despite his age—experiences that shaped his own approach to the craft and to others in the industry.

Jet discusses his country music influences, his latest single “Going Next,” and his work with the Ryan Seacrest Foundation performing for children in hospitals. Through it all, his message remains clear: authenticity matters most, whether in the roles you choose, the songs you write, or the person you see in the mirror each morning.

I provide testosterone to the site. You won’t be reading about how nice a actress looks in a dress or how much of a hunk Matt Bomer is in my reviews. I describe colors using words like brown, not taupe. My twitter name is @staffaroadtrip because I love road trips and have done two different 48-state road trips since 2008. My favorite show is White Collar.
