Jason Schwartzman stars as Jonathan on HBO's comedy "Bored to Death." Jason Schwartzman also stars as Mark Taylor Jackson in Judd Apatow's "Funny People" (2009), opposite Adam Sandler, Seth Rogen, Leslie Mann and Jonah Hill.

Jason Schwartzman made his motion picture acting debut in 1999 as Max Fischer, an eccentric high-school sophomore in the acclaimed comedy "Rushmore," opposite Bill Murray, for director Wes Anderson "The Royal Tenenbaums." That year, Jason Schwartzman's performance garnered a nomination for Most Promising Actor from the Chicago Film Critics Association. Jason Schwartzman has since completed work on several feature films. 

Jason Schwartzman left his position as lead drummer for the Los Angeles-based band Phantom Planet in 2003. Their second studio album, "The Guest," written in part by Schwartzman, was released by Epic Records in February 2002. Shortly after, the band embarked on a 14-month tour with Incubus.

In 2004, Jason Schwartzman starred in David O. Russell's "I Heart Huckabees" with Dustin Hoffman, Naomi Watts and Jude Law. In 2005, Jason Schwartzman starred opposite Steve Martin and Claire Danes in "Shopgirl," the film adaptation of Steve Martin's best-selling novel. The International Press Academy nominated him for a Satellite Award for Outstanding Actor in a Supporting Role, Comedy or Musical, for his portrayal of Jeremy, the struggling musician who falls in love with a disenchanted salesgirl played by Danes.

In September 2007, Jason Schwartzman was back in the music scene, creating an indie-rock solo project with Coconut Records. The debut album, titled "Nighttiming," was released on Jason Schwartzman's Young Baby Records in 2007. The album is the product of Jason Schwartzman, who wrote all of the songs and performs the majority of the instruments. The song "Summer Day" was featured on the "Spider-Man 3" soundtrack. The song "West Coast" can be heard in an episode of "The O.C." and the movie "Cloverfield."

Jason Schwartzman voices a character in the upcoming animated film "Fantastic Mr. Fox." The film is comprised of an all-star cast, including George Clooney, Meryl Streep and Bill Murray, and reunites Jason Schwartzman with director Wes Anderson. It is set for release in November 2009 through Fox Searchlight. Jason Schwartzman is currently in production with Michael Cera in the film "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World." The film is being directed by Edgar Wright and is set to be released by Universal Pictures in 2010. Jason Schwartzman is also attached to star opposite Jonah Hill in the film "The Adventurer's Handbook."

Born and raised in Los Angeles, Jason Schwartzman continues to reside there.
