Biography |
Justin Jake Long (born June 2, 1978) is an American actor,
best known for his roles in Waiting..., Accepted, Dodgeball
and the TV show Ed. He is also known for his personification
of a Macintosh computer in Apple's 2006/2007 "Get a Mac"
advertisement campaign.
Long was born in Fairfield, Connecticut to a Catholic
family. His mother, Wendy, is an actress, and his father, R.
James Long, is a philosophy teacher at Fairfield University.
He has two brothers: an older brother, Damian, who teaches
English to High School students, and a younger brother,
Christian. He attended Fairfield College Preparatory School,
a Jesuit school in Fairfield where he was given the "Most
Likely Not To Be Seen In Class" superlative, and entered
Vassar College's Class of 2000, but left before graduating
to pursue his acting career. His bio on the Galaxy Quest DVD
states that his early acting work was in sketch comedy.
Long's notable film credits include Jeepers Creepers,
Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story, Crossroads, Galaxy Quest,
"Dreamland" and Waiting.... He was also a regular on the NBC
TV series Ed (2000–2004), playing socially maladjusted
high-school student Warren Cheswick. He has also appeared in
the movies The Break-Up and played the main character in the
2006 comedy film Accepted. He has just been selected to
co-star with Bruce Willis and play a "white-hat hacker" in
the new Die Hard 4 movie named Live Free or Die Hard. He
plays a fairly prominient role in the upcoming movie The
Sasquatch Dumpling Gang, a spiritual sequel to Napoleon
Dynamite.
In the spring of 2006, Justin co-starred with author and
Daily Show "Resident Expert" John Hodgman in the "Get a Mac"
advertising campaign for Apple Computer. The campaign
features commercials in which Long plays a Mac computer and
Hodgman plays a PC, both engaged in playful banter about
"the strengths of the Mac platform and perceived weaknesses
of the PC platform."
On November 8th, 2006, RadarOnline, citing an anonymous
representative for Long, reported that Long would no longer
be the face of the Mac for the new set of commercials.
Shortly thereafter, they appended an "update" to their
original article, naming a source, Long's agent, saying that
Long was in fact doing more Mac ads. That same month, Long
posted a message on his official fan site, stating that he
would continue to do Apple advertisements. Between 11/06 and
2/07, he has appeared in seven additional "Get a Mac" ads. |
