JUSTIN LONG
Date of Birth: June 2, 1978
Before graduating from Vassar College in 2000, Long had already gained a mass of acting experience throughout his school years. Besides being a two-year member of Laughingstock, a sketch comedy group at the school, and taking part in a number of school plays, he extended his theater credits by working on a number of productions outside of school including New York Stage & Film, Westport Theatre Artists Group and Fairfield Summer Theatre.
He made his movie debut in a major studio film, Galaxy Quest (1999). Playing sci-fi geek Brandon who ends up helping the crew save the universe was a big boost for Long's career. Soon after, he landed a regular role on the TV series Ed, playing Warren Cheswick. He stayed with the show for the four year run, but continued to work in films during hiatus from the series.
Next came a part in the summer teen film,
Happy Campers (2001) and a starring role in the horror flick,
Jeepers Creepers (2001), as well as the sequel,
Jeepers Creepers 2 (2003). His appearance in
Crossroads (2002),
Britney Spears' movie debut, luckily didn't hurt his career despite the movie being lambasted by critics. After playing opposite stars such as
Ben Stiller and
Vince Vaughn in the comedy
Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story (2004), he was the romantic lead opposite
Lindsay Lohan in
Herbie Fully Loaded (2005).
Happy to take on a variety of roles, whether comedy or dramatic, his star continues to rise with five movies released in 2006, including a supporting role in The Break Up (2006) starring Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn and the starring role in Accepted (2006) for Universal Pictures. For 2007, he has another four films coming out, including Live Free or Die Hard (2007), starring Bruce Willis.
Justin is also famous for his numerous Apple Mac computer commercials.
