Guess the Dark Side was strong with him for a little while.

This is his first major role in a long time. He's in a remake of Bullitt

He played young Anakin Skywalker in the 1999 movie “Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace.”

That role alone should earn him a felony.

I’ve heard his acting in episode 1 described as “Mannequin Skywalker”, LOL. The only other thing I can recall him in was “jingle all the way home” with Ah-nuld Schwartzenegger and Sinbad the comedian. That should’ve killed his career right there.

Maybe he was pissed because he knew the kid who played the young Kirk in the Star Trek reboot had a better scene...

Having seen episode 1 I must say that I had no idea that Jake was an actor. Perhaps this is something he took up later in his childhood?

Should have had old Ben in the car.
