Jesse James Keitel is an American actor, writer, and artist.[1] They are best known for starring in Asher Jelinsky's short film Miller & Son (2019), which won the BAFTA Student Film Award and Gold Medal for "Best Narrative" (Domestic) at the 2019 Student Academy Awards.[2][3] In March 2020, Keitel was cast in a lead role in Big Sky, an ABC crime-drama created by David E. Kelley.[1]
Originally from Long Island, Keitel now lives in New York City where they graduated from Pace University with a BFA in Acting in 2015.[4] They were honored in Out Magazine's OUT100 in 2018 for their portrayal of queer characters in the Ben Stiller-produced Netflix film Alex Strangelove and as TV Land's first non-binary character on Younger.[5][6]
In 2019, Keitel starred in the world premiere of Martin Moran's play Theo at Two River Theater.[7] Keitel plays the leading role in the upcoming MadRiver Pictures sci-fi series, Forever Alone.[4] They also appear in Linda Yellen's 2019 Showtime feature film Fluidity, starring Nico Tortorella.[1]
Keitel often performs in drag under the pseudonym Peroxide, a member of the Haus of Femanon.[8] As Peroxide Femanon, Keitel has appeared in LOGO TV's Fill In The Blank docu-series and in Sasha Velour's NYFW SS19 collaboration with Opening Ceremony.[9][8][10]
Keitel is non-binary and uses she/her and they/them pronouns.[1][11] Big Sky made them the first nonbinary actor to play a nonbinary series regular on primetime television.[12] [13]
so i have to ask, who the fuck is they? this is one person, whom i am assuming is a naturally born female. not one of those who gradually and scientifically transformed into one. does this one person somehow pull out a duplicate of oneself out of the asshole in order to make it technically they?
