Michael Rosenbaum plays the cool, smooth Jack Cooper on Zoe, Duncan, Jack & Jane. His humorous, overly- confident, and almost self-centered character provides a laugh in every episode. Of his character, Rosenbaum says, "He's a cocky, quick-witted high school kid who thinks he's already on Wall Street."

     Luckily, Rosenbaum can easily differentiate himself from his obstinate character. "I am less stubborn. Jack has to beat everyone. I'm the first to admit I'm wrong; Jack is the last!" he says.

     Rosenbaum is no stranger to the big screen. He portrayed Parker, the comical fraternity brother in the thriller Urban Legend, costarring Joshua Jackson, Rebecca Gayheart, Tara Reid, and others. Also, in the Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil a film adaption of the bestselling novel directed by Clint Eastwood (True Crime), Rosenbaum played George Tucker.

     Rosenbaum was born on July 11 in Oceanside, Long Island, but was raised in Indiana. Based on this information, Rosenbaum describes himself as "a Hoosier with the soul of a New Yorker." Obviously.

     He got his start when he took a bet to audition for a play in high school. After landing the role, Rosenbaum went on to play the leads in many stage productions. He received a BA in theater and communications from Western Kentucky University. After graduating, Rosenbaum followed his roots back to New York, where he grabbed roles in many off-Broadway musicals and small independent films. He also snagged some guest roles in comedy series and had a recurring role in the Conan O' Brien Show skit "The Amsterdam Kid." Rosenbaum received another taste of fame when he landed the regular role on the WB's Tom, starring Tom Arnold, as Jonathan. Unfortunately, the show was canceled.

     Michael Rosenbaum, a Los Angeles resident, uses his spare time to play in an ice hockey league. Ice hockey has been his favorite sport since childhood, and follows the New York Rangers carefully. He developed a love for music, as he plays acoustic and electric guitar. Rosenbaum is also easily distracted by his full-size arcade-style Galaga video game. Someday, Rosenbaum hopes, he will get to have his grandmother see him on Broadway.
