43-year-old Jesse Heyman already has about forty feature films in his filmography and at least as many series. Most likely, you all have seen it somewhere, but no one really knows.

Easily recognizable by his youthful looks with round cheeks and curly hair, he is simply the most famous extra in Hollywood!

Born in Boston in 1978, Jesse Heyman dreamed of acting and decided to move to Los Angeles at the age of 22 to pursue a career in film and television.

Very quickly hired for small roles on quite large projects, he accumulated appearances and extras over the years. Although he has never landed a leading role (except in music videos or Super Bowl commercials), he can boast of having worked with some of the biggest names!

From 2001 to the present, we could see Jesse Heyman in the cinema American Pie 2, Austin Powers Goldmember, Catch Me If You by Steven Spielberg, Spider-Man by Sam Raimi, Freaky Friday, The Social Network by David Fincher or even Transformers 3 by Michael Bay (the latter He himself asked to work with him!).

On the TV side, Heyman also boasts an impressive filmography, having appeared on (among others) NCIS, Entourage, Bones, Arrested Development, Heroes, Monk, How I Met Your Mother, Parks and Recreation, and even Glee.

Note that he also had two smaller, more regular roles in the series Chuck (where he plays a Buy More store clerk) and The Big Bang Theory (where he appears in 5 episodes).

While you wait for Hollywood to finally offer him a starring role, what do you think of Jesse Heyman’s atypical career? In which movie or series do you think you knew him?
