Jonathan Kite is best known as "Oleg," the hilarious, lovable, sex-crazed Ukrainian cook, opposite Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs on the current CBS comedy hit, 2 BROKE GIRLS.

He performed many times on stage in Illinois before moving to Los Angeles to pursue a career in voice over, film, television and zoological criminology. In addition to his role on the series, Kite voices many of the color impaired characters on the Adult Swim throwback, "Black Dynamite: The Animated Series." When asked to list them, Kite simply said "just call me EVERY WHITE." Before "2 Broke Girls," Kite was seen in a number of notable supporting roles including the pilot of FOX's hit "Raising Hope".
