You star as Kelvin on the ABC comedy series, Home Economics! What are three words you’d use to describe Kelvin?

JECOBI SWAIN: The Cool Kid.

Are you anything like your character?

JECOBI: Yes, very much! We are just alike. We both love the same music, look up to our uncles, love video games. We are the perfect match!

You also recently made an appearance in Marvel’s The Falcon and the Winter Solider on Disney+! What was it like getting to step into the Marvel universe?

JECOBI: It was a dream come true getting to be apart of the Marvel Universe! It was an amazing experience being on set. I got to eat lunch with Bucky (Sebastian Stan). He is such a cool guy. He bought me a burger and we ate burgers together side by side. Anthony Mackie is awesome as well and very funny in person. We shared a lot of laughs on set, and I think it made the scene we shot come out so natural and good. We actually improved some of the lines in the scene we shared together.

In addition to acting, you’re also a seriously talented dancer – what do you love most about expressing yourself through dance? Do you have a favorite style?

JECOBI: Thank you! That’s a good question. I like that I can just have fun and be free. I like that I can tell a story through dancing too. My favorite style is gliding!

What is something your fans would be surprised to learn about you?

JECOBI: That I love collecting crystals and rocks.

When you’re not on stage, what do you like to do for fun??

What is your biggest dream for the future?

JECOBI: My biggest dream for the future is to do a movie with Denzel Washington and for my baby sister to follow in my footsteps in the entertainment industry.

Do you have any advice you’d like to share with your fans?
