According to the search results, the original Jake from State Farm, whose real name is Jake Stone, was an actual employee of State Farm who answered a casting call while working as an insurance agent for the company. He landed the role and spoke those iconic two lines, and the rest was history. However, Jakes gig with State Farm is now history, as the new face of the company, Kevin Miles, has replaced him in all the commercials and advertisements. The reason for the change is that State Farm wanted an actor who would be available full time to make commercials, and the new Jake needed to be more of an actor and spokesperson for the company. Jake Stone seems to have quit State Farm on good terms, and he did reappear in a 2020 commercial despite not working for them anymore.
