“I am grateful and honored to be part of Feeding America’s fight against hunger. It is important now more than ever.”
Born in Petionville, Haiti, Jimmy led a simple life in a remote village until the age of twelve, when he moved to Paris. Jimmy finished school with a degree in Business, but without a permanent home it was the night clubs of Paris which kept him off the streets. He's fluent in five languages.
Jimmy came to America ten years ago to pursue his acting career. To his credit, thus far he has appeared opposite Mo'Nique in "Phat Girlz", Jane Fonda and Jennifer Lopez in "Monster-in-law", Harrison Ford in "Hollywood Homicide", Bruce Willis in "Tears of the sun", Gerard Butler in "Miracle match"....
In 2008, Jimmy founded Hollywood Unites For Haiti, a non profit organization whose mission is to promote sports and cultural activities for the underprivileged youth of Haiti, www.hufh.org.
Jimmy says, "from a young boy growing up in Haiti with no electricity or running water, my journey to Hollywood has been rich with experience. I take little for granted and appreciate the beauty of life, knowing that there is so much more to learn."
