About Me

I've played Jackson Belleville on the "Gilmore Girls" for seven seasons. I have also directed 3 episodes of the show to date. I live with my wife Alex Borstein and our dog Pepper.

My Interests

Music:

Well, uh, it runs the gammut. Prolly one of the most eclectic music collections ever assembled is on my iPod!

Movies:

"Defending Your Life", "Plains, Trians, and Automobiles" are two of my all time favorites. About as close to perfect movies as you can get. Other fantastic movies include Blazing Saddles and Midnight Run. I'm also a big fan of disastermovies. I could watch Airport, Earthquake, Poseidon Adventure, Towering Inferno just to name a few of my faves.

Television:

The Shield is THE BEST show on television!!! Oh, and of course that show that I am on. :)

Heroes:

Albert Brooks, Alan Arkin, John Candy, Steve Martin, Shawn Ryan, Alex Borstein, Amy Sherman-Paladino, and Amy from Kent.
