Jonathan Lippert Keltz was born in New York City. He remained in the city through pre-school before moving upstate to Woodstock, New York where he attended Poughkeepsie Day School through 8th grade. He moved with his family to Toronto, Canada to attend high school at Northern Secondary School and although he had done various theater productions prior to this, his professional career began shortly after his 16th birthday after signing with his agent. He remains in Toronto for the duration of high school but is unclear as to what his post secondary plans will be.
Born in New York City and raised in Woodstock, Jonathan Keltz was inspired to pursue acting by his first drama teacher, Victoria Silvestri, Kenneth Branagh’s performance in Hamlet and a Master Class Workshop with Alan Arkin. He got his start in films in Toronto appearing opposite Heather Graham in "Cake" and playing Chris Cooper’s son in "Breach" for Universal.
Jonathan co-starred in Disney’s "Prom" and he is reprising his role on the final season of "Entourage" as Ari Gold’s loyal assistant, ’Jake Steinberg.’ He recently completed filming lead roles in two independent features: "Playback" with Christian Slater and "Transgression" opposite Michael Ironside.
In addition to "Entourage," Keltz’s television credits include lead roles in the MOW’s "Dadnapped" for The Disney Channel and "Acceptance" for Lifetime. Guest star roles include: "Leverage," "Breakout Kings," "CSI: Miami," "Cold Case," and a recurring role on "Degrassi: The Next Generation."
