James Francis Shubert 

Trivia

As a stand-up comic, he served as an opening act for comic legend Sam Kinison.

He attended the Philadelphia High School for Creative and Performing Arts, majoring in Drama.

By the age of 15, he had become an accomplished professional magician.

The Go audition couldn't have come at a more deflating time. He read for Liman the same week he had attended the funeral of his 12-year-old cousin in Philadelphia. While in Philly, he also learned that the proposed sitcom Postal, in which he was to play a Long Island postal worker, wasn't being picked up for the 1998 pilot season. With a certain fatalism hanging over his life and career, Jimmy read for Go by relying more on a devil-be-dammed instinct than any acting technique.
