I'm a proud homosexual, and have always had a passion for acting and the theater, although many people doubt my abilities in this area. I'm very whimsical, and I change careers rapidly from department store salesman to acting teacher to student nurse to surfer to back-up dancer for Jennifer Lopez and Janet Jackson. Although I consider all my relationships serious, only one lasted longer than a few weeks, and even it ended with him cheating.
Some say I am unashamedly vain and self-absorbed, with an adoration of all gay icons, particularly Cher, of whom I have a rare doll. (I met her once, although I mistook her for a drag queen and declared, "You're not that great, Mr. Sister. I do a better Cher than you." It was only when she slapped me and exclaimed "Snap out of it!" that I realized and promptly fainted.) I also collects celebrities' hair, including a complete collection from the actresses of The Golden Girls, as well as Bernadette Peters and even Patti LuPone. Some also say I am decidedly hyperactive and airheaded, causing Will to once refer to me as "Jumping Ferret Jack," and another time thinking that I had set Will and myself up on dates with twins, but soon realizing it was just one guy taking his glasses on and off.
I was raised by my mother Judith and stepfather Daniel. My mother did not know I was gay and my stepfather was not close to me. While I was in high school, I befriended college student Will Truman and helped Will realize his own homosexuality. We have been best friends ever since.
I moved in with Will, but when Will took in his other best friend Grace Adler, I agreed to sublet Grace's apartment — although Will, Karen, and my mother pay the rent.
I have established a close bond with alcoholic socialite Karen Walker who chooses to work merely as a source of distraction. I adore her with all of me. (smack it Anastasia) I agreed to marry Karen's maid Rosario to secure her green card. After a year together, the marriage was annulled when Rosario wanted to date Karen's gardener.
I undertook a search for my real father, which ended when I discovered that my father died. I did however, meet Elliot my own biological son, whom I fathered by depositing at a sperm bank as a teenager so I could buy a coat. I later discovered the boy's mother Bonnie is a lesbian; she was a nurse at the sperm bank who stole my deposit and was inseminated with it. Ewwwwww
My most consistent vocation resulted from his taking over the class of my acting teacher Zandra after she was fed up with my supposed lack of talent. Blah, blah, freakin' blah. After taking everyone's money and leaving, another student took over the class and began teaching the "McFarland method" ('acting is attracting') without my knowledge. Holy plagerism!! I trained to be a student nurse, but ultimately gave it up when, during Karen's fourth wedding, I met Jennifer Lopez and became her back-up dancer, a career that fizzled as well.
I then embarked on a proper career as a producer on OutTV, a new gay television network. My profile had soon risen to the point that they gave me a talk show of my own to host. How could they lose?
But, sadly I lost my job at the network after I spoke out against the new right-wing ownership of the show. Shortly after this, I auditioned for a role on a television show and - going against what some call my natural over-dramatic acting style - I ended up getting the lead role of Chuck Rafferty, a straight alcoholic cop.
My longest relationship wass with Stuart Lamarck, which lasted several months, until I cheated on Stuart.
I am also the owner, or former owner, of a dog (Klaus Von Puppy) and a parrot (Guapo). I live across the hall from Will and Grace, and in my spare time, I operate a one-table café, Jacques', in the hallway outside my door.
