Jacob William Hoggard (born July 9, 1984) is a former Canadian musician who was the lead singer for the pop-rock band Hedley. Before Hedley was formed, Hoggard competed on the second season of Canadian Idol in 2004 when he placed third. In 2018, Hoggard was arrested and charged with sexual assault.
Writer/director Jason Headley knows this all too well. A Bad Idea Gone Wrong is Headley's feature debut, a comedy about two not-so-bright guys determined to find one great heist to set them up for life, even though neither of them has experience with theft of any kind.
His short films—including the viral videos "It's Not About the Nail" and "F*ck That: An Honest Meditation"—have been featured at Banksy's Dismaland, NBC's TODAY Show, SundanceTV, the TED Conference, and as Vimeo Staff Picks.
