Who is the actress in the Kesimpta commercial?
Kami Dimitrova is the actress who appears in the Kesimpta ‘Drama’ commercial. She is an actor and comedian based in Los Angeles. The voice you hear in the commercial, however, doesn’t belong to Dimitrova. The voice over is provided by Jen Jacob, an actress known for her roles in the movies Begin Again (2013) and Top Five (2014), and the TV series Girls (2012),
Kami Dimitrova - the national face of the Kesimpta brand - also appears in another Kesimpta commercial, but a different, male-sounding actor provides the voice used in that commercial.
Kesimpta (ofatumumab) is a prescription medication. It is administered by injection under the skin (subcutaneous injection) and is used to treat relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS), to include clinically isolated syndrome, relapsing-remitting disease, and active secondary progressive disease, in adults.
