Jonathon McClendon is an energetic, dramatic, funny, and friendly young actor.  I expect to see him on both the small and big screen in many projects in the future.  At a recent photo shoot for Brad Everett Young, he agreed to join in the interviewing fun and share his responses to our Warming the Winter Chat questions.  Jonathon was most recently seen as a guest star on Code Black, and is currently best known for his role as Chase Jennings on Days of Our Lives.
