Jack Facts:
Jack is played by Sean P. Hayes.
Jack's full name is John Phillip McFarland.
He has a one man show, 'Just Jack'.
He has his own website called Just Jack.
He was born in 1969 but until his birthday party, thought himself to be one year younger.
When he came out to his father, Jack ended up having to give him CPR, which confused his father even more.
Kept his sexuality a secret from his mother until last Thanksgiving, when Will found out and insisted Jack tell his mother (see: Homo For The Holidays for more information).
He was once in trouble for not paying his taxes. Will helped him and it ended up costing Jack $2000, which Will paid. He was also once sentenced to community service picking up trash after slapping a metre maid.
He met Karen in the second episode of Will & Grace.
He has an affinity for Karen.
He owns a parrot, Guappo, and a dog, Klaus Van Puppy, whom he inherited from Will after Will realized he couldn't take care of the dog and work.
He married Rosario, Karen's Salvadorian maid, so that she would get her green card and not be deported.
Lives in the back part of Karen and Stan's penthouse with Rosario.
He is convinced that Will is attracted to him, though he insists that nothing will ever happen. Will has long ago given up trying to convince Jack that he's not attracted to him and now just plays along.
He works out at the gym twice a day, six days a week.
He has known he was gay since he was very young, maybe for his entire life.
He found out that his mother had sex with a man in a Nixon mask at a pool party and that is how he was concieved. Meanwhile, she hasn't a clue who the man was.
His stepfather was never very kind to Jack as a child.
He is a big fan of Cher, and is always falling for the 'Cher card', which is when a friend, usually Will, tells Jack that Cher will be somewhere when she won't really.
He is an only child (I think, though he may have some unknown half-siblings on his father's side).
He doesn't get along well with Grace, though they both enjoy figure skating and 'Antiques On The Road'.
His nickname in elementary school was Jack McFairyland.
Past jobs have included: ran the man-tan booth at Le Spa, Broadway usher for 2 grueling performances of Les Mis, lawyer (well, when he was pretending to impress a guy), cater waiter.
After trying to stage a protest against NBC's reluctance to air an on screen kiss between two gay men, Will kissed Jack on The Today Show (see: Acting Out for more information).
