Most television fans will recognize the name Jesse Metcalfe as a huge star in their world, but many people who are not as into television might not know who he is. For that, I am going to include some facts about him just to beef up your trivia in case you are ever asked about him by a friend of colleague. Its always better to have a little bit of background knowledge and be able to hold your own in a conversation, than to know nothing and be completely left out.

Jesse is most known for his role on the television hit series, Desperate Housewives. On this show, he portrayed the character John Rowland, and this earned him recognition not only in the TV world, but also among actors and directors alike. Because of his huge success and popularity on this show he was cast as John Tucker in the movie John Tucker Must Die. The reason for this is namely because of his good looks and popularity with women. Women identify in him a character of the good looking bad boy who ends up breaking everybodys’ hearts. For this reason, women tend to like him but also dislike him at the same time, making him a perfect character for the role.

He is less known for his role in the soap opera Passions, where he played Miguel Lopez Fitzgerald, but soap lovers might remember him as having a certain “it” factor when on the camera. Jesse has always been complimented on his good looks and his natural easy going nature. He is well respected among the artist community as an actor who is both good at what he does, and also fun to be around.
