FBI Assistant Special Agent-in- charge Jubal Valentine is the man with a plan in action series FBI (2018- current) and actor Jeremy Sisto is no different. “I’d planned on being an actor come hell or high water,” says the 44-year- old, matter- of-factly adding that “there was no other plan. No second path in life. It was acting or bust.” Considerin­g he’s been in showbiz for 30 years, that plan paid off for Jeremy.

His first “role” was in the music 1 video We’re Not Gonna Take It by ’80s glam rock band Twisted Sister. Until the age of five, Jeremy lived 2 in a house made of rocks in the Sierra Nevada mountains in California. “It was so strange, looking back now – we didn’t have plumbing or electricit­y,” says the actor. 3 Jeremy borrowed money from friends in high school but instead of using it for lunch, he spent it on chocolates and sweets. He’s given up his love for sugary treats though. He describes himself as anything 4 but ordinary: “I went to an audition wearing full army fatigues with camouflage paint on my face. It wasn’t a military movie… and I wasn’t cast.” Jeremy married first wife Marisa in 5 Las Vegas when they were 18 and separated two days later. They got divorced in 2002 so Marisa could remarry. He commutes to New York to film 6 FBI and spends weekends back in LA with his second wife Addie, their daughter Charlie-Ballerina (10) and son Sebastian Kick (6). And while Jubal is reliable, Jeremy 7 isn’t – he missed two days of filming drama series Six Feet Under (20012005 as Billy) because he was in a casino playing blackjack.
