Jerry O'Connell Biography

Jerry O Connell
  • Birth Name: Jeremiah O'Connell
  • Birth Place: New York, NY
  • Date of Birth / Zodiac Sign: 02/17/1974, Aquarius
  • Profession: Actor
When an 11-year-old O'Connell made his film debut as a chunky goofball in 1986's Stand by Me, no one — not even the actor himself — imagined that he would one day become a Hollywood heartthrob and land looker Rebecca Romijn as his better half. O'Connell was already slimming down during his three-year stint as a teen with superpowers on My Secret Identity, and by the mid-'90s he was in great shape on the sci-fi show Sliders. With sparkling blue eyes, a killer smile and a well-toned physique, O'Connell made a bid for big-screen success, starring in a couple of horny comedies, tackling a few dramatic supporting parts and even branching out into screenwriting with 2004's First Daughter. But the small screen remained his primary medium, with a plum role as a hunky cop on Crossing Jordan keeping him in the public eye.
