Biography
Early life
Long was born in Fairfield, Connecticut. His mother, Wendy Lesniak, is an actress who has mostly appeared on stage, and his father, R. James Long, is a philosophy and Latin teacher at Fairfield University. He has two brothers: an older brother, Damian, who is a high school English teacher and a local stage actor, and a younger brother, Christian, who appears in the movie Accepted as the Sandwich Mascot. Long was raised in a politically-liberal, Catholic family[1] and attended Fairfield College Preparatory School, a Jesuit school in Fairfield where he was given the "Most Likely Not To Be Seen In Class" superlative. He attended Vassar College, where he was a member of the sketch comedy group Laughing Stock and starred in several plays including Butterflies are Free. He left college early to pursue his career. Before leaving, he worked at Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, Connecticut as an acting instructor/counseler for a children's theatre group.
Career
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 co-stars with Bruce Willis and plays a "white-hat hacker" in Live Free or Die Hard.[2] He plays a fairly prominent role in the upcoming movie The Sasquatch Dumpling Gang.
Long is also known for his depiction of a Mac in Apple Computer's Get a Mac campaign. The campaign features commercials in which Long as a Mac and John Hodgman as a PC, are engaged in playful banter about "the strengths of the Mac platform and perceived weaknesses of the PC platform."[3] Despite his various roles as computer geeks, he admitted to CraveOnline, "I'm very, very computer illiterate... I get the worst of both worlds; I look like a geeky hacker but I don't know anything about computers. [4]
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.[5] Between 11/06 and 11/07, he has appeared in thirteen additional (of a total of 32) "Get a Mac" ads.
Personal Life
He is currently dating Drew Barrymore. Previously Justin was dating Kaitlin Doubleday, his co-star from Waiting...[6]
