After a breakout year in 2018, Jake Borelli rapidly made a name for
himself in the entertainment industry. He can currently be seen
starring as Levi Schmitt on ABC’s award-winning, critically
acclaimed drama “Grey’s Anatomy.” Introduced in the first two
episodes of the 14th season, Borelli instantly became a fan favorite
as one of the newest interns to join Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital. In
season 15, fans tuned in weekly to watch Schmitt’s historic
storyline unfold, as they witnessed the first kiss between two male
doctors and the first major gay (male) romance in the show’s
history. This inspired Borelli to come out in his personal life as
well.

Born in Columbus, Ohio, Borelli knew at a young age that he wanted to
be an actor. He got his start in acting with the Columbus Children’s
Theater when he was just 10 years old and performed in over 15 plays
in just five years. From the stage, he went on to work in commercials
and radio in Ohio. In 2009, a few weeks after he graduated from high
school, he decided to make the move to Los Angeles to pursue his dream
of being a full-time actor. Shortly after the move, Borelli landed his
first major role as Roy in the Nickelodeon series “iCarly.” He
then went on to recur as Wolfgang, a quirky German exchange student in
Nickelodeon’s “The Thundermans.” On the film front, Borelli
recently starred in Netflix’s Original Movie “#REALITYHIGH,”
opposite Kate Walsh and Anne Winters.

When he isn’t on set, Borelli can be found in the mountains camping;
he has a passion for traveling and doesn’t hesitate at the chance to
take a road trip or explore new places. He is also a huge musical
theater buff and enjoys seeing a new play or musical when he is in New
York City.

Borelli currently resides in the Los Angeles area.
