Tate Donovan
From Free net encyclopedia
Tate Donovan (born September 25, 1963) is an American actor. He was born the youngest of seven children in an Irish-Catholic family in Tenafly, New Jersey, although he attended a public high school.
He has been appearing on television since his teens. He attended the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, where he met his now long-time friends Grant Heslov and George Clooney.
Donovan was formerly engaged to Sandra Bullock (1994) and to Jennifer Aniston. He also dated British socialite, Plum Sykes (in 2000), actress Whitney Allen (2001), and Lauren Graham of the television series Gilmore Girls. However, he married Corinne Kingsbury in a Catholic ceremony on a Malibu, California beach in 2005.
He had a regular gig with an Irish traditional band called The Descendents, with whom he released an album titled "Wake Amusements."
He played the priest son of a large Irish Catholic family in the short-lived NBC drama "Trinity" (1998).
More recently he has appeared as a guest star in several shows in series such as "The Guardian" (2001), "Mister Sterling" (2003), and, finally, in the series "The O.C." (2003), where he currently appears as Jimmy Cooper on the hit FOX show.
