Meet the multi-talented Jason Schwartzman
Jason Schwartzman is the son of actress
Talia Shire and the late producer Jack
Schwartzman. He is also the nephew of Francis
Ford Coppola and the cousin of Nicolas Cage,
Sofia Coppola, Roman Coppola and
Christopher Coppola.
He made his motion picture acting debut as Max
Fischer, an eccentric high school sophomore in
Wes Anderson’s comedy "Rushmore" in 1999. That
year, his performance garnered a nomination for
"Most Promising Actor” from the Chicago Film Critics
Association.
Jason's recent credits include starring as King
Louis XVI in Sofia Coppola’s "Marie Antoinette,"
"Shopgirl," "Bewitched," "C.Q., Simone," "Slackers,"
and a starring role in David O. Russell’s
comedy "I ♥ Huckabees." Jason made his television
debut in the comedy Cracking Up.
In the 2007 interview, host Rafael Siegel talks the
actor / writer / musician about growing up in a
family that is in the film business, his music with
the pop/rock band Coconut Records, and about
his film, "The Darjeeling Limited," co-starring
Owen Wilson and Adrien Brody and directed
by Wes Anderson.
In the Fox Searchlight Pictures film, three American
brothers who have not spoken to each other in a year
set off on a train voyage across India with a plan
to find themselves and bond with each other -- to
become brothers again like they used to be.
