Jake Choi Single Parents
He appeared as Miggy Park, a young single father with a baby son named Jack in the American television sitcom Single Parents. The series begins with the group meeting Will, a divorced father in his 30s who is so preoccupied with raising his daughter that he has lost sight of who he is as a man. When the other single parents notice how committed Will has gotten in PTA, parenting, and princesses, they team together to get him out in the dating world and show him that motherhood does not imply abandoning one’s entire identity.
Jake Choi American Housewife
He appeared as J.D., a luxury hotel manager and aspiring father recently divorced from his husband, who becomes Katie’s and Tami’s friend in the season 5 of the American television sitcom American Housewife. The story follows Katie Otto, a wife and mother who struggles to retain her sense of self and family while dealing with wealthy, snobbish, arrogant housewives and their pampered children in her new city of Westport, Connecticut. Katie and her family rent a smaller home than the other residents, who own larger homes.
She lives with her level-headed husband, Greg, a history professor at a university, and their three children. Taylor is their athletic, headstrong, but slightly dimwitted oldest daughter who wants to fit in with her peers; Oliver is their clever, ambitious, and sardonic middle child; and Anna-Kat, the youngest and Katie’s clear favorite, is kind but obsessive-compulsive. Katie frequently expresses her frustrations and seeks counsel from her two closest friends: Doris, whose rigid parenting style is diametrically opposed to Katie’s, and Angela, a divorced lesbian mother and lawyer with a more relaxed parenting style.
Jake Choi Career
Choi made his acting debut as Ryan in the 2015 independent film Front Cover, an LGBTQ romance comedy with two Asian male stars. Choi’s performance was well welcomed by critics. According to Sheri Linden of The Hollywood Reporter, “Chen’s career-driven Ning defies easy labels, but ultimately the movie is about Ryan’s transformation, one that Choi deftly conveys.”
Choi has acted as a guest on various television episodes since 2015, including Broad City, Younger, and Hawaii Five-0. He had a recurring role in HBO’s Succession in 2018. Choi rose to attention after being cast as a series regular on ABC’s fall 2018 show Single Parents, playing Miggy, a 20-year-old single father. The show was discontinued in May 2020, after two seasons.
As of January 2019, he is a recurrent character on EastSiders, a Netflix dark comedy. The same year, he portrayed Charles Bae, the brother of Charles Melton’s Daniel Bae, in the film adaptation of the young adult novel The Sun Is Also A Star.
