John Patrick De Sena (born December 6, 1987), known as Jack DeSena, is an American actor. He is famous for his roles in the comedy show All That. He also voiced Sokka in the Nickelodeon series Avatar: The Last Airbender and Prince Callum in the Netflix series The Dragon Prince.

About Jack DeSena

Jack DeSena was born in Boston, Massachusetts, on December 6, 1987. In 1999, his family moved to Irvine, California. He went to Irvine High School there. Later, he studied at UCLA.

Jack was part of a comedy group called ComedySportz. This group performs funny, unscripted scenes, much like the show Whose Line Is It Anyway?.

He joined the cast of All That in 2002 for its seventh season. In 2005, he won an award with Logan Lerman for Best Performance in a TV Series. This was for his leading role in a comedy or drama.

Jack quickly became known for his great ad-libbing. This means he was very good at making up lines on the spot. He showed this skill while voicing Sokka in Avatar: The Last Airbender. He also appeared as a guest star, playing Jimmy Olsen in The Batman.

His Work in TV and Film

Jack DeSena worked on an online show called Dorm Life. This show was a mockumentary, meaning it looked like a documentary but was actually fake. It won an award in 2008 for its writing and comedy.

He also lent his voice to an episode of King of the Hill called "Luanne Gets Lucky." You might have heard him in Generator Rex in the episode "Crash and Burn." In 2012, Jack was in the Hulu series Battleground.

In 2013, he appeared in the Nickelodeon show Sam & Cat. He played a judge in a texting competition and later an airport investigator. In 2014, he voiced Robin in the animated movie JLA Adventures: Trapped in Time.

From 2014 to 2016, he was known as "Mr. Roberts" in the TV series 100 Things to Do Before High School.

Since 2016, Jack and his friend Chris W. Smith have made funny videos. They create and star in comedy sketches on their YouTube channel called "Chris and Jack."

Since 2018, Jack has been the voice of Prince Callum. This is a main character in the Netflix animated series The Dragon Prince.
