Like his brothers Bill Vint and Alan Vint, American actor Jesse Vint got his start in "regional" films lensed in the Southwest for the drive-in crowd. Jesse has played mainstream roles in Roman Polanski's Chinatown (1974) and in the 1980 TV movie Belle Starr (as outlaw Bob Dalton). Occasionally wandering to the other side of the cameras, Vint has functioned as writer, producer and director, often under the auspices of another "good ole boy" actor-turned-producer, Max Baer. Jesse Vint wrote and directed Another Chance, and produced and wrote Hometown USA, both of which graced small-town cinemas by the end of the 1970s.
