Now you know him as the often topless bad boy on 'Vanderpump Rules', but before the fame, Jax Taylor had a different job (and a different nose).
Long before he met Stassi or Brittany or any other Vanderpump girl whose name he ended up tattooing on himself, he worked in Hollywood as a background actor.
Just in time for spooky season, fans are noticing Jax pop up in the background of loads of classic '00s-era shows. Here's where he's been spotted so far.
Jax Eats Snacks In 'Arrested Development'
In season three of 'Arrested Development,' Jason Bateman's character goes for a meal at "The American Diner." SO DOES JAX.
Most of his background work isn't credited on IMDB, but Jax confirmed this was indeed him to an eagle-eyed fan on Twitter. If his side profile doesn't look much like it does now, just remember it happened ages ago. A lot can happen in 15 years! Especially in California.
Jax Parties In 'The OC'
We shouldn't be surprised that former bartender and drunken felony holder Jax Taylor appeared at a party with Marissa Cooper's troubled younger sister in 'The OC.' He definitely belongs in that world, and that's exactly where he was back when this iconic series was being filmed.
Watch the season 4 episode 'Earth Girls Are Easy' to see background Jax in all his glory, or just admire his dance moves in these gifs grabbed from the episode.
Jax Flirts on 'Desperate Housewives'
Here's an extra job that Jax actually got credit for: "Hot Guy 2 in Dance Club" on season 5, episode 19 of 'Desperate Housewives.'
In his short scene, blonde housewife Edie approaches Jax at the club just as he's about to give a drink to another girl. He checks her out, decides she's hotter, and gives the drink to her instead. Somehow we don't think he had to do much acting for this one.
Jax Carries Boxes on 'Two Broke Girls'
Last week another Twitter fan found Jax walking behind Kat Dennings' character on 'Two Broke Girls.'
A hat's covering up his trademark spiked hair, but there's no denying that jawline. Looks like it could even be a regular day for modern Jax, working as a SURver stocking bottles.
Jax Claps in 'Dexter' And 'Will & Grace'
For someone who loves the spotlight, he makes a pretty good audience member. Jax watched a Britney Spears show on 'Will & Grace' and a school play on 'Dexter.' He's been open about those ones, letting fans know with screenshots in Tweets of his own.
Lesson: Nowhere is safe from Background Jax - even shows you've watched a million times before. Where will he pop up next?
