With his blood ties to
Bobby Cannavale,
Lena Horne and the
Sidney Lumet family, Jake is that rare fourth-generation member of an American show-business clan. And his polyglot ethnicity includes Cuban, northern European, Italian, Ashkenazi Jewish, Senegalese and Native American roots. Also from his great-grandmother Lena Horne's side, he is very likely a descendant of South Carolina political scion John C. Calhoun.
