"Jean-Pierre Yerma as Elly’s pimp in the film; You’re Not Thinking Straight, is weapons-grade mind frag material, utterly unnerving”.Cinema Australia
As a Director I have witnessed the exceptional contributions that Jean-Pierre has made to our Production. Not only is he an excellent, very talented and hard-working Actor, But he was punctual, Patient, Takes Directions well and a wonderful asset to a production. He memorized his huge dialogue in no time at all. I was impressed!
John Kay Films Actor Producer
I was thoroughly impressed with Jean-Pierre’s ability to adapt to frequent script changes in a large, comedic, ensemble piece. Jean-Pierre was professional, thoughtful, took direction well, had excellent dramatic instincts, was prepared to dive deep into characters, committed himself completely and, is also extremely pleasant to work with and quickly won over every member of the ensemble.

Jean-Pierre is an actor who is professional, dedicated and consistently gave 100% of his energy, talent and imagination to the major role he had in my TVC. And as a result it’s still one of my favorites. Eran Thomson Dir
Jean-Pierre is committed and gives 100% every time. He is a team player, easy going and good to work with. During the Showcase, he took on many roles and each time delivered a truthful, believable and compelling performance.

JP was a fantastic addition to the production. Committed, professional and great to work with. He delivered a performance that truly elevated the film.Jordan Turner Director
Dedicated, motivated and totally focused on his acting career. JP Yerma has a passion for the performing Arts whether it be live theatre, comedy or television and film drama. His versatility bridges all areas of acting. Recently taking part in Diversity Showcase highlighting the cultural diversity in film and television in Australia, highlighted JP’s ability in both drama and comedy as an actor. Given the right opportunity I believe JP Yerma will shine and could easily become a major Australian actor. Confident, witty, personable and humble, JP Yerma is definitely star material.
