Hailing from Brampton, Ontario, actor Jonathan Emond moved to a small town near Montreal at a very young age. Throughout elementary Jonathan was always a natural entertainer. When he was eight he began piano lessons, and it was soon apparent that he was a gifted pianist, passing the 'Conservatoire de Musique du Quebec a Montreal' entry exam at age 10.

Challenges began to take a hold when at age 10 both of Jonathan's kidney's failed. Piano playing and acting was put on hold for the duration of his dialysis treatments. On Jonathan's 13th birthday his father Stephen, donated a kidney. His experience during this process gave Jonathan the strength and motivation to help other children in need of medical care. As a young teen Jonathan would be on stage speaking to corporate businesses encouraging them to pledge funds for Operation Enfant Soleil, one of Quebec's biggest charities. Jonathan shared his survival story to these corporations, raised awareness and gave hope to other children experiencing health issues.

It was during this time that Jonathan met his first acting mentor, Susan Glenn, whom passed in 2019, a successful talent agent that worked with several known names in Montreal. Susan was inspired by Jonathan's raw talent and ability to command a stage. She encouraged him to join Teen Tour Theatre, a youth theatre troupe to pursue a career in acting.

Jonathan's first audition at fifteen, landed him a leading role on Télé-Québec's Tactik, set in Montreal. He has since gone on to appear in the Michael Bay directed blockbuster movie Transformers: Age of Extinction, The Fall of Sparta and several popular Canadian TV shows including; Impostors, My Worst Nightmare, Being Human and 30 Vies.

Since beginning his acting journey Jonathan has evolved as a young actor. On arriving to Los Angeles, Jonathan began sharpening his acting chops by studying with renowned Los Angeles-based acting teacher Aaron Speiser (coach for Will Smith, Gerard Butler, and Dwayne Johnson), where he grew and excelled as a student.

When not acting, or in an acting class, Jonathan spends his time in the gym, meditating or spending time with his close friends. Jonathan has recently become an active ambassador for the Make a Wish foundation in Canada. With plans of helping better our world, Jonathan is sure to be a positive influence on the generations to come.
