Jesse Heiman

Jesse Wayne Heiman (born May 23, 1978) is an American actor, best known for his uncredited work as an extra in a wide variety of films and television shows. He is also known for appearing in a GoDaddy commercial at Super Bowl XLVII, alongside Bar Refaeli and Danica Patrick.

Biography Early life Jesse Heiman was born on May 23, 1978, in Boston, Massachusetts, United States. He has stated that one side of his family is Jewish and the other side is Catholic and that he grew up celebrating Christmas and Hanukkah. In 1988, he moved to Austin, Texas. In May 2000, Heiman graduated the Texas State University in San Marcos with a bachelor of arts degree in English studies. He moved to Los Angeles, California, in September 2000. His first film role was in the 2001 film American Pie 2, and his first speaking role was in a 2002 episode of the short-lived television show Maybe It's Me. He has appeared in numerous films, television shows, commercials, and music videos, mostly working as an extra. Among most reprised extra roles in television series, he portrayed a store employee named Fernando in 32 episodes of Chuck, a student named Allan Alby in 26 episodes of Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide, and a nerd and a friend of (fictionalized) Wil Wheaton in 5 episodes of The Big Bang Theory.

On March 14, 2011, a video compilation was uploaded to YouTube, showing clips of Heiman's various appearances. Within days of the video being online, the video had over 2 million views. This made him an internet sensation and a minor celebrity. Following the response to GoDaddy's Super Bowl XLVII commercial, Los Angeles-based porn company Assence Films extended an offer to Heiman to appear in an adult film of his choosing. Heiman responded to the offer saying "I will hold out for Playgirl. As a play on the GoDaddy commercial, singer Michael Bublé cast Heiman in the opening scene of his video "It's a Beautiful Day" where Bublé walks in on Jaime Pressly, who plays his significant other in the comical video, and Heiman sharing a kiss, to which Bublé responds by singing the song. Despite his age, he still portrays teenagers and young adults as an extra.

Heiman has earned considerable attention for his work as a background actor. Various media outlets have dubbed him one of the most, if not the most recognisable extras in film history.
