Not anymore

One of the biggest stars of the 2020 NFL season wasn't even a player - it was "Jake from State Farm", the insurance agent who palled around with Aaron Rodgers and Patrick Mahomes in countless commercials during NFL games.

Turns out, Jake - aka actor Kevin Miles - has come a long way.  He says he used to sleep in his car after first arriving in L.A. to pursue an acting career.  Now, he gets recognized on the street, even when hiding behind a hat and dark glasses. Now, Miles is focused on expanding his acting career - he says "the dream would be to win a couple of Oscars and still be 'Jake' for a little bit".

Will it end up hurting his acting career because people see him as 'Jake'?
