Hello Whyville! Welcome to Behind The Set! Last issue I received plenty of mail with nominations, and I'm happy to report that they are being worked on as I type. For all of you who weren't able to read my last episode, we featured Oscar winner Adrien Brody. As I checked my mail, the first nomination I read was for an actor who we've probably all seen, but never looked into. This episode is dedicated to Milo Ventimiglia.

Milo Anthony Ventimiglia was born on July 8th, 1977 in Anaheim, California. He grew up with his two sisters and parents. A fact I found including his sisters: When he was about seven years old, his two sisters dressed him up as Madonna.

Milo has been seen in small roles of shows we used to watch. He appeared on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air as a party guest. Also on Sabrina, the Teenage Witch he played a letterman! Another few roles he had on TV series include CSI, Boston Public, and Law and Order: Special Victims Unit.

Milo is a regular on Gilmore Girls, playing Jess Mariano, Rory Gilmore's boyfriend on the TV screen and also off-screen! That's right, Milo and Alexis Bledel are together off-set of Gilmore Girls! Just getting started, The Bedford Diaries on the WB has Milo playing the role of Richard. I found out that Milo didn't even audition for his part! The WB network wanted Milo and only Milo for that role. (Note: The Bedford Diaries is for mature audiences.)

That's not all, of course! Besides being seen often on Gilmore Girls, Milo has been in quite a few movies as well. The most recent, which I imagine most of you've seen, is Stay Alive. For those of you who haven't seen it, Milo is in the very beginning, and is pretty much all we get to see of him; but I won't spoil it and tell why. Mr. Ventimiglia also appears in the 2005 movie, Cursed.

Random Fact:
Milo has been a vegetarian since his childhood!

That wraps up this episode of Behind The Set! Keep sending your nominations, and I hope to get them submitted.

This is blondyy16, signing out.

Author's Note: Due to the fact that I have received quite a few nominations, don't be discouraged if yours does not become published right away.
