G Talent Glamour Issue #31 - October, 2003 by James Williams Born: October 6, 1974 Star sign: Libra Hometown: Grass Valley, northern California, USA Think you know the face? Best known for playing Billy, Brenda's unhinged brother, in Channel 4's Six Feet Under, and also played Elton in the 1995 smash-hit teen movie Clueless. First brush with fame: Starred in a Chicago production of Tennessee Williams' last play A House Not Meant to Stand, aged six. "I actually met Tennessee a few weeks before he died. He was a real old drunkard!" Significant other: "Not at the moment. I recently broke up with someone, but she's still a good friend. I'm just looking forward to having some time to myself to chill out and relax." Secret passion: "The swing I built in my back yard from a great pine tree. It's real high and it was all my own work, so I'm quite proud of that." Secret ambition: To take to the West End stage. "Jake Gyllenhaal is going to do Romeo and Juliet in Londen and they wanted me to play Mercutio, but I just don't feel I can do it right now. I've pretty much been working non-stop these past few years, but it would be nice to do it at some point." Idol: "I don't think I have one. Perhaps life would be a little simpler if I had!" Goddess: "I can't say, because when I eventually get married my wife-to-be will see this and say that she's not her and it'll end up messy, so I'll take the fifth amendment on that one!" Gratuitous name-drop: Jennifer Lopez, his co-star in 2001's Angel Eyes. "She was great. I had no problem with her. She was cool, down to earth and a hard worker." Forthcoming projects: Teen crime, drugs and sex saga Thirteen alongside Holly Hunter and Second World War tale U-Boat, co-starring William H Macy.
