In 1990, he received a Clio Award for his Drug Free America commercial. Corti has also directed various stage productions in Los Angeles.[1]

Personal life

Corti was previously married to Laura Corti, whom he wed in 1986. Laura was killed a year later in a 1987 collision between an Amtrak train and a Conrail freight train in Chase, Maryland.[2] At that time, Laura Corti had been returning to New York City after having seen her husband perform in Les Misérables at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.. The crew of the freight train in that collision tested positive for marijuana, and Jesse Corti subsequently appeared in both an English-language and a Spanish-language public service announcement for Partnership for a Drug-Free America.[3]
