His year, Jonathan Kite can be seen starring in the film "Needle Little Christmas," alongside Sara Waisglass and Thomas Lenon, a project he also produced and wrote. Recently, Kite appeared in the Netflix comedy series "Dad Stop Embarrassing Me!" opposite Jamie Foxx. Kite shined as Johnny Williams, Brian's (Foxx) best friend and an honorary family member. Inspired by Foxx's real-life relationship with his daughter Corinne, the series is available globally on Netflix.

Kite is best known for his starring role as the hilarious and lovable Ukrainian cook Oleg in CBS's long-running, award-winning comedy series "2 Broke Girls," opposite Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs. The show, created by Michael Patrick King and Whitney Cummings, ran from 2011 to 2017 and was nominated for 12 Emmy Awards and four People's Choice Awards.

Jonathan's additional credits include the indie comedy feature "The Bellman," opposite Thomas Lennon and Richard Kind, the horror feature "All the Creatures Were Stirring" alongside Constance Wu, and the Jamie Foxx-produced sketch show "In the Flow with Affion Crockett" on FOX. Beyond live-action, Kite has voiced characters in several films and series, including Warner Bros.' "Smallfoot," DreamWorks' "Adam's Family 2," Peacock's "Cleopatra in Space," Netflix's "The Boss Baby: Back in Business," Adult Swim's "Black Dynamite," and FOX's "Family Guy" and "American Dad!" As a stand-up comedian, Kite has performed to sold-out audiences nationwide and internationally.

An expert impressionist, Kite boasts over 250 celebrity impressions, including Donald Trump, Vince Vaughn, Tom Hanks, Anthony Bourdain, Seth Rogen, Brendan Fraser, Jason Statham, Jeff Bridges, Robert Downey Jr., and John Lithgow. Born and raised in Skokie, Illinois, Kite studied drama in high school and at the University of Illinois at Champaign/Urbana, where he earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theatre. Before moving to Los Angeles to pursue a career in acting and comedy, he frequently performed on stages across Illinois. Kite also studied improvisation and sketch comedy with Chicago's Second City and The Groundlings in Los Angeles. He is a founding member of the improv group L. Ron Jeremy, which set the national Cage Match Competition record at the Improv Olympic West Theater in 2010 by winning 52 weeks in a row and retiring undefeated. In 2009, Kite created, wrote, produced, and starred in his own sketch comedy television pilot, "The Skokie-Jo and Shappy Show," described as "Mr. Show" meets "Quantum Leap."

Kite resides in Los Angeles.
