Jake Borelli (born May 13, 1991) is an American actor. He is known for his roles as Wolfgang on the Nickelodeon comedy series The Thundermans (2015–2018) and Dr. Levi Schmitt on the ABC medical drama Grey's Anatomy (2017–present).[1]
Borelli was born in Columbus, Ohio, to Linda Borelli and Mike Borelli. He has two older brothers, Ben and Zack. He enjoys painting, art and considered attending art school when he won a national art competition during his senior year of high school. In 2009, he graduated from Upper Arlington High School and was accepted to University of California, Los Angeles and Ohio State University but decided to move to Los Angeles to pursue acting. Whilst in Columbus, Borelli also performed in more than a dozen shows with the Columbus Children's Theatre which included roles in Cheaper by the Dozen; The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe; Wiley and the Hairy Man; and Holes.[2]
Borelli publicly came out as gay on his personal Instagram in November 2018, moments after the airing of the sixth episode of Grey's Anatomys fifteenth season, in which his character, Dr. Levi Schmitt, also came out.[3]
In March of 2022, Borelli posted a picture of him and Chase Williamson, a professional photographer, attending the Elton John AIDS Foundation's 30th Annual Academy Awards Viewing Party to his Instagram page. Since then, he has posted more about Williamson, leaving it to be assumed that the two are in a relationship.[4]
Upon moving to Los Angeles, Borelli quickly landed supporting roles in television shows such as iCarly, Parenthood, , True Jackson, VP, Greek and Suburgatory. He has also appeared in several short films.
In 2017, he landed a role in the Netflix comedy drama film Reality High. That same year, it was announced that Borelli would be playing intern Dr. Levi Schmitt on Grey's Anatomy.[5] [6]
