About

Jerry Trimble was born in Newport, Kentucky. As a child dealing with depression and anxiety, he was insecure, fearful, and bullied regularly. At age 13, he was inspired by Bruce Lee and began studying the martial art Taekwon-Do at age 14.

Soon after, bullying became a thing of the past. At 15, Jerry earned the rank of a first-degree black belt and became the number one point fighter in the Midwest U.S. At 18, he started Kickboxing and won the "Kentucky State Championship."

​

At 19, Jerry moved to Atlanta, Georgia, to pursue the World Championship. Fighting under the name "Golden Boy," he won a string of additional titles that included the "Georgia," "Southeast," and "U.S." championships. On April 26, 1986, at 24 years old, he became the PKA and PKC Kickboxing Champion of the World.

 

The international kickboxing media rated Jerry Trimble as one of the sport's flashiest fighters and fastest kickers (his 'hook-kick' was clocked at 118 MPH). He wrote his column, Martial Arts: a Way of Life, for Inside Karate Magazine.

 

Jerry currently holds the rank of sixth-degree black belt.

​

At 28, he retired from the ring and moved to Los Angeles, California, to embark on a career in the entertainment business as an actor.  Within a few months, Jerry signed with talent manager Peter Aguilar, and his first two auditions resulted in leading roles in the same week.

Jerry has been in over sixty-five feature films and TV shows that include "Heat," (playing alongside Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro) "Charlie's Angels" Green Hornet, Kung Fu TV series, The Flash, iZombie, Supernatural, Chesapeake Shores, and many others.

 

Jerry's main ambition is to focus on the 'character actor' segment of acting. He enjoys a solid expanse of 'character' parts, allowing him to exhibit his acting talent in various roles.

Jerry is also a Youth Motivational Speaker and  Mentor who empowers teens to Stand Up to their fears, Step Out of their comfort zones, Discover their gifts, Go after their dreams, and become Champions in life. He uses his real-life experiences as proof that if an insecure, fearful, depressed, and bullied teenager like he was can make his dreams come true, anyone can. 

​

Jerry continues to work as an Actor in the film industry and as a Youth Motivational Speaker in the U.S. and Canada.
