Jonathan Pal was born in Millburn, New Jersey. He has one younger sister, Kira, and his parents are John and Carol Pal.Jonathan is most notably known among his friends as "Jon-Pal." Jonathan fell in love with theater and acting when he was only eight years old after seeing "Grease" performed by his classmates. Besides his growing enthusiasm for acting, Jonathan also took part in soccer, baseball, guitar, piano and singing; most hobbies never stuck. He was later discovered by a Broadway actor at the age of 11 at Deerfield Elementary School when he was in the fifth grade school play "Annie."After spending years behind the scenes and performing community works Jonathan and his family moved from Short Hills to Colts Neck. In 2007, Jonathan began studying acting and filmmaking at Actors Playground and Industry Film School in Eatontown, New Jersey. It wasn't until 2009 that Jonathan began to plan small photoshoots with his younger sister. He put together a portfolio and quickly gained popularity on LookBook. He eventually grew tired of the site and closed his account. He modeled in New York City with his sister and they both contributed themselves towards fittings for J. Crew and the Gap.Jonathan was reluctant to obtain representation and never bothered. His career hit a standstill as he focused on independent works for several years. Through friends and diligence Jonathan has been able to land several big auditions through 2012 as well as callbacks to each one. 2012 was a promising year and Jonathan is continuing to pursue his career in acting.In 2012, Jonathan worked on several short films with friends at Silver Style Pictures including Solar (2012) and "Watch Over Me" (2012). His most notable role has been as Finnick Odair in his directorial debut "The Hunger Games: Poseidon's Son" (2012) which released summer 2012.In 2013, Jonathan focused on indulging in technique and craft. He briefly attended The New School for Drama in New York City and in 2014 transferred to the University of Michigan School of Music, Theatre and Dance.
