By "original", I'm assuming you mean Jesse Woodson James from Kearney, MO.

No, he was not an actor. He was a Confederate guerilla fighter and then a bank/train robber. He doesn't seem to have ever held a "legitimate" job.

Robert Ford, who shot Jesse James, did become an "actor" of sorts: he appeared in a travelling stage show that reenacted the shooting.
