After receiving his B.A.
degree with honors from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts
in Madrid, Jesus completed his training at the Lee Strasberg
Theatre Institute in New York on scholarship from the
Spanish Government. He then became internationally known for
his starring roles in the top-rated television series’ “LA
LOBA HERIDA” and “DIVINA OBSESION,” distributed by Warner
Brothers International in 29 countries.
Seeking to expand his career Jesus came to the United States
in 1995 where he was granted the green card as a “person
with extraordinary ability in the arts.” He starred in
several theatre plays and independent films, three of which
he also produced. In 2000, Jesus launched his own production
company by the name of Zokalo Entertainment with the intent
of making socially relevant films that would enrich the
human spirit.
Zokalo’s first production was the critically acclaimed
feature "NO
TURNING BACK" picked up for distribution by Universal
after its successful theatrical release in Europe and in the
United States. The film, commonly compared with the Oscar
winner CRASH, has won 23 INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL AWARDS,
including the ALMA AWARD FOR OUTSTANDING INDEPENDENT MOTION
PICTURE, the most prestigious award for any Latino
production shot in the United States.
NO TURNING BACK has already been sold to 78 countries
and over 100 colleges and cultural centers around the world
have hosted screenings of the film given its powerful
educational value. Demonstrating the versatility of his
talent, Nebot wrote, directed, produced and starred in the
film. Aside from winning several BEST DIRECTOR awards,
Jesus' touching performance as Pablo has been praised by
film critics around the world and granted him an IMAGEN
AWARD nomination for BEST LEAD ACTOR IN A MOTION PICTURE and
a BEST ACTOR AWARD at the ATLANTIC CITY INTERNATIONAL FILM
FESTIVAL.
Nebot's additional productions include Time Warner's "THE
LOVE SHOW" and the documentary
WHAT ARE YOU GRATEFUL FOR?. Other acting credits include
guest-starring roles in the Fox EMMY WINNING SERIES’ “NYPD
BLUE" and “ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT.”
