SixTwentySix Welcomes Jimmy Tatro As Commercial Director

Award-winning, bicoastal creative studio SixTwentySix today announced that it has signed Jimmy Tatro to its roster of commercial directors.

A versatile creative, Tatro is a writer, director, producer and actor who’s known for his distinct comedic perspective and work across digital media, film and television. He writes and directs his own projects, including all three seasons of “The Real Bros of Simi Valley,” which he created, directed and starred in. He first gained attention as the creator and star of the popular YouTube series “Life According to Jimmy.” The series, which he wrote, produced and directed with his friend, became a viral hit and led to a breakout role for Tatro in “22 Jump Street,” alongside Channing Tatum.

Other onscreen highlights include starring as the lead in the 2017 Netflix Original series “American Vandal,” for which Tatro received a Critics’ Choice Award nomination for Best Actor. Recent credits include Netflix’s series “The Hawk” and Paramount’s “Scream 7,” both in 2026. Tatro will also appear in upcoming projects, including Amazon MGM’s film “Judgment Day” and the much-anticipated “Gorilla Grodd” series from DC Comics, for which he will play the title character.

“Tatro is a creative multihyphenate. One of the things that impressed us most about him is the incredible depth and range of perspective and creativity that he brings to visual storytelling. Whether it’s behind or in front of the camera, Tatro knows how to best capture and bring a story to life in new and unexpected ways,” said SixTwentySix Co-founder Jake Krask.
