Jacob Christopher "Jake" Lloyd (born March 5, 1989) is an American actor who gained worldwide fame when he was chosen by George Lucas to play the young Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, the first film in the Star Wars prequel trilogy.
Lloyd was born in Fort Collins, Colorado, the son of Lisa, an entertainment agent, and Bill Lloyd, an E.M.T. set medic.[1][2] He has a younger sister named Madison.
He is best known for his performances in the films Jingle All the Way and Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace.
