Jansen Panettiere

Jansen Panettiere (born September 25, 1994, Palisades, Rockland County, New York) is an American voice and film actor, and the younger brother of actress Hayden Panettiere.

Panettiere was born in Palisades, Rockland County, New York, to Lesley R. Vogel, a former soap opera actress, and Alan L. "Skip" Panettiere, a fire department lieutenant.

Jansen had a supporting role in the Disney Channel Original Movie Tiger Cruise, which starred Hayden (this is the only production to date in which both siblings have featured onscreen - Jansen lent his voice to Racing Stripes, in which Hayden appeared). He played the voice of Truman X in The X's. He starred as Lucas Malloy in the made-for-television Nickelodeon film The Last Day Of Summer, which first showed July 20, 2007 on Nickelodeon. It was released on DVD on August 28, 2007.

The Perfect Game is directed by William Dear, is based on the true story of how a group of boys from Monterrey, Mexico become the first non-U.S. team to win the Little League World Series. Panettiere also co-stars with Gavin MacLeod in The Secrets of Jonathan Sperry, a film directed by Rich Christiano about faith and friendship.
