He reprised the role in the 2008 sequel Return to Sleepaway Camp. In between acting Jonathan took to music, fronting a number of bands, mostly based out of the Fort Collins, Colorado area. Tiersten is currently the lead singer of his own band, Ten Tiers and composed the score to a short starring David Krumholtz (from the TV series Numb3rs). Tiersten also starred in the 2012 film The Perfect House in which he played a serial killer named John Doesy and the upcoming (as of May 2014) thriller film Redemption which co-stars George Loros (Buffalo Ray Curto from The Sopranos) and Meredith Ostrom (Love Actually).
