As the offspring of producer/writer Naomi Foner and director Stephen Gyllenhaal, it is not surprising that Jake Gyllenhaal has been acting since childhood. Raised in Los Angeles, Gyllenhaal acted in school plays and made his winsome screen debut when he was in the fifth grade, playing Billy Crystal's son in the blockbuster summer comedy "City Slickers" (1991). Keeping it in the family while acting with some of the industry's most notable talents, Gyllenhaal subsequently appeared in his parents' 1993 adaptation of the novel "A Dangerous Woman" with Debra Winger, and played Robin Williams' son in a 1994 episode of TV's "Homicide" that was directed by his father.

Jack Twist received his second most famous nickname in this scene from the screenplay of Brokeback Mountain:

ALMA (turns on him):  Don't try to fool me no more, Ennis, I know what it means.  Jack Twist?

ENNIS:  Alma...

ALMA:  Jack Nasty.  You didn't go up there to fish.  You and him...

Ennis grabs her wrist and twists it.

ENNIS:  Now you listen to me.  You don't know nothin' about it.

"O" is off-center

When choosing roles, Jake was averse to taking the easy teen-flick route; instead, he preferred off-center work.

Jack slid his cold hand between Ennis's legs, said he was worried about his boy who was, no doubt about it, dyslexic or something, couldn't get anything right, fifteen years old and couldn't handly read, he could see it though goddamn Lureen wouldn't admit to it and pretended the kid was o.k., refused to get any bitchin kind a help about it.
