Jesse McCartney (Robbie Readers)

As a youngster, Jesse McCartney performed in the stage productions his actor-parents created for the community. When he was nine years old, he toured the United States performing as Louis in the well-known theater production The King and I. Before long Jesse was playing the character of Adam Chandler Jr. in the long-running daytime soap opera, All My Children, and Bradin Westerly in the WB Network s show Summerland. Jesse has also starred in movies. However, acting isn t this rising star s only talent. He sings, writes songs, and records CDs, too. As Jesse himself says: I was born to be an entertainer.
