Jacob “Jake” Marino, an American of Italian descent, grew up in Palomino Creek, a small town near the flashy Vinewood, Los Santos. He always dreamed of becoming a famous actor, but his career started with low-budget ads that didn’t bring him much fame. Despite his efforts, Jake struggled to get noticed in the competitive world of Vinewood. He kept his passion for acting alive, but he needed to find a way to make ends meet.
In search of money, Jake got involved with the local American mafia. Through some young Italian criminals, he landed a job as a counter at a gym owned by a guy, closely connected to the mafia. This job gave him a steady income but also dragged him deeper into the criminal world of Los Santos. Even though he was on a risky path, Jake never gave up on his dream of becoming a star. Every day at the gym, he imagined a future where he would finally make it big in the movies.
