Cayden Jacques, a 4th-grade student with Connections Academy at Springs, is an accomplished young actor. The 10-year-old began acting five years ago. Some of his recent acting jobs include a role on Surprise & Seek on Amazon Kids, Abbott Elementary on ABC, and the recent Mother’s Day and Father’s Day campaigns for Nordstrom Rack.
Cayden’s teacher, Jessica Strayer, observed, “Cayden’s success stems from his ability to express a wide range of emotions, the supportive environment his mom and I have created, his consistent acting classes, and his strong work ethic. He is known for being punctual, professional on set, and able to take direction while managing the long hours required for his roles.”
Cayden joined Connections a year ago. It provides him with a flexible schedule that allows him to balance his education and acting career. The program makes it possible to adjust his schoolwork around filming and other commitments without falling behind. Besides acting, Cayden plays baseball on a youth team. As the team enters the playoffs and aims for the championship, Cayden was recruited for the league’s all-star team due to his standout performance this season.
