American actor Johnathon Schaech was BOTD in 1969. Born in Edgewood, Maryland to a middle-class family, he developed an interest in acting in high school. He made his feature film debut in Franco Zeffirelli‘s 1992 film Storie di una capinera (Sparrow), followed by Gregg Araki‘s bleakly bisexual drama The Doom Generation. His Hollywood breakthrough came in 1996, playing a 1960s boy band singer in the Tom Hanks-directed comedy That Thing You Do! An erratic career followed, with roles in Stephan Elliott‘s 1997 road movie Welcome to Woop Woop, portraying Harry Houdini in a TV film and a gay Columbian dying of AIDS in David Rabe’s 2000 play A Question for Mercy. The remainder of his career has been spent mainly in television, with a notable supporting role in drama serial Ray Donovan. In 2018, he claimed that Zeffirelli sexually assaulted him during the filmmaking, triggering years of struggling with sex, drugs and alcohol addiction. Zeffirelli later released a statement via his adopted son, denying Schaech’s allegations. Schaech maintained his position as other men came forward with allegations against Zeffirelli, becoming a prominent voice in discussions of sexual abuse in Hollywood during the #MeToo movement. Married and divorced twice, Schaech married Jana Kramer in 2013, with whom he has two children.
