About John Stamos
Uncle Jesse from Full House will always have a special place in our hearts, and he later returned to television with appearances on Entourage and Glee. The lovable Uncle Jesse in Full House helped actor and singer John Stamos find early popularity as a television heartthrob. Since that time, Stamos has battled the tides of his early reputation stemming from the twee program and advanced in his career with programs like ER and Glee.
Stamos has managed to become sexier with each passing year, making his fans scream, “Have mercy!” He has a dark complexion, light eyes, deadly dimples, and a winning grin.
Making Soap
John Stamos, who was born on August 19, 1963, was the older of his two sisters. The triplets was reared in Cypress, California by their Greek restaurateur father and former swimsuit model mother, where Stamos worked as a teenager flipping burgers and playing drums. He decided to pursue a career in show business because of his love of music, especially The Beach Boys’ music. Stamos missed his first semester of college with the encouragement of his parents in order to pursue his passion seriously.
It didn’t take long for him to get his big break.
In 1982, Stamos was hired for his first professional employment as the seductive Blackie Parrish on the enduring soap drama General Hospital. He was nominated for a Daytime Emmy for the role in 1984, but Stamos quickly moved on after landing the lead role of a Philadelphia band’s front man in the CBS sitcom Dreams. Only 12 episodes of the brief-lived program were produced before it was canceled. Stamos completed the first season of yet another mediocre sitcom and even played the lead role in his first failure, Never Too Young to Die. Early strikeouts would soon become inconsequential because of a much-needed profile boost that was about to occur.
Whole House
Stamos played Uncle Jesse to three too friendly nieces in the beloved family sitcom Full House in 1987 opposite Bob Saget and the Olsen twins, who were still infants at the time. Stamos’ renown was cemented by the success of the series, which attracted viewers who were drawn to his rock and roll attitude, greased-up pompadour, and attractive looks. Later, when his character fell in love and had twin twins, his reputation as a bad kid was softened. Despite reasonably consistent ratings, the eight-season run of the program came to an end in 1995.
Stamos met supermodel Rebecca Romijn at a Victoria’s Secret event just before the show concluded. After starting to date, the couple was married in 1998.
But the couple’s union did not endure, and they filed for divorce in 2005.
Stamos continued to make guest appearances in numerous series over the years that followed, appearing in a number of TV movies. Stamos joined the well-known medical drama ER after creating and starring in another canceled program, Jake in Progress, and quickly became a mainstay. He watched the series all the way through to its conclusion in 2009.
Trading A Mic For A Camera… and vice versa
Stamos kept dabbling in music, his initial love, in the meantime.
Stamos was a more talented musician than any of his fictitious skills implied, being able to play a variety of instruments, including the drums, guitar, and keyboard. Stamos became friends with his heroes from The Beach Boys early in his acting career and frequently toured and recorded with the band as their drummer. After Full House ended, Stamos expanded his acting career and started performing in Broadway shows. He made his Broadway debut in How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, taking over for Matthew Broderick as the show’s star, and he continued to perform there and in subsequent shows like Cabaret, Nine, and Bye Bye Birdie.
His venture into the music industry did not go unnoticed; in 2010, Stamos was cast in a recurring part on the hugely successful musical-comedy series Glee, which debuted in the second season. Stamos continued to work on numerous side projects throughout this time, always looking for new opportunities to advance his profession.
After years of reinventing himself, Stamos has managed to shake off the adorable grip of his Full House reputation and restore his star status as John Stamos after swatting away his brand as Uncle Jesse.
“One time when I was on General Hospital, I opened the closet in my dressing room and there was a naked girl in there — like, completely naked. It was pretty wild. I didn’t know what to do. Should I call security? Should I buy her lunch?”
