Jason Bateman

Born: 14 January
Where: Rye, New York, USA

A potential 80's Brat Pack success, Jason's career has lagged behind his peers, with whom he starred in such classic hits as Poison Ivy and Teen Wolf Too.

He started out in Little House On The Prairie at the age of five, and TV work has been Jason's staple throughout his career.

Series such as The Hogan Family and Chicago sons have provided a regular income, but that breakthrough movie role is still elusive.

Jason has also had a go at directing episodes of TV series that he starred in.

More recently Jason appeared in the romantic comedy The Sweetest Thing, opposite Cameron Diaz.
