Jared Staub
From supporting roles to leads in under a year
Staub went from a supporting part to headlining some of ReelShort's most-watched sports and family-drama series inside a single year — one of the fastest climbs the platform has had.
Where to start
Three entry points rather than a full list, chosen to show the range rather than the highlights.
02 · ReelShort
The Deaf Heiress's Secret
As Brian Stewart. A useful contrast — the same leading-man register applied to a much quieter story.
03 · ReelShort
After Divorce, I Built a Fabulous Life
His first ReelShort collaboration, from early 2025, playing Alex. Worth watching to see how quickly the casting changed after it.
