Bateman married Amanda Anka, daughter of singer Paul Anka, in 2003. They live in Los Angeles, California, and enjoy a happy family life with their two daughters: Francesca Nora and Maple Sylvie.
This actor grappled with his drugs and alcohol addictions while he was in his thirties. He had a minor health scare in 2005 and underwent a throat surgery to remove a benign polyp.
Bateman was born on January 14, 1969, in Rye, New York, to Elizabeth, a former flight attendant and Kent Bateman, an actor, writer and director of film and television, and founder of a repertory stage in Hollywood.
He has an older sister, Justine, and three half-brothers. At four, his family moved to Salt Lake City, Utah, and later to California. At 10, he began to act professionally and started to work in commercials.
Bateman started his television career in 1981 with a recurring role on Little House on the Prairie, as James Cooper, an orphaned boy who, along with his sister, is adopted by the Ingalls family.
From 1982 to 1984, as a supporting character on the sitcom Silver Spoons, he played Rick Schroder's scheming school friend. His good looks and sense of humor made him popular with teenage girls.
He appeared in the Knight Rider third-season episode "Lost Knight" in 1984, and three years later with Burt Reynolds on the men's team in the inaugural week of the game show ‘Win, Lose or Draw’.
Between 1995 and 2001, he had major roles on four series—Simon, Chicago Sons, George & Leo, and Some of My Best Friends—none of which lasted longer than one season.
In 2002, he played the frisky sibling of Thomas Jane's character in The Sweetest Thing, a romantic comedy film directed by Roger Kumble and starred Cameron Diaz, Christina Applegate and Selma Blair.
The Hogan Family, an American television comedy that aired on NBC and CBS under various names for six seasons and 110 episodes from 1986 to 1991, gave Bateman the status of a teen idol.
Cast as Michael Bluth in the critically acclaimed comedy series Arrested Development that aired from 2003 to 2006, the series did not gain a sizable audience, but Bateman won several accolades for his performance.
Jason Kent Bateman is an American actor who became famous as a teen actor in the 1980s. He first displayed his scene-stealing penchant in the role of Derek Taylor, best friend of star Ricky Schroder, on ‘Silver Spoons’. He moved to the long-running role of teen David Hogan on the series ‘Valerie’, which later changed names to emerge as ‘The Hogan Family’. Following the conclusion of The Hogan Family, he was plagued by ill-fated sitcoms such as, Simon, George and Leo, Chicago Sons, and Some of My Best Friends. Fortunately, things started to look bright for Bateman. After a supporting role in the Cameron Diaz comedy, The Sweetest Thing, he was offered the lead in the sitcom, Arrested Development. Acclaimed for its smart humor and fresh concept, the show became a hit with critics and viewers. He has acted in a spate of comedies such as Juno, Extract, Couples Retreat, The Switch, and Identity Thief. He has also given sterling performances in movies like Hancock, Kingdom and Disconnect and also directed a couple of movies. He has fought back his drug and alcohol problems successfully and valiantly, and is the perfect example that hard work and persistence will ultimately pay.
