Posted on 05.27.2005 in Interviews and Monster-in-Law | 0 CommentsI saw Michael Vartan onscreen for the first time in “The Myth of Fingerprints,” a tiny indie with a big time cast (Roy Schneider, Blythe Danner, Julianne Moore, and Noah Wyle, just to name a few). In an impressive performance as Wyle’s brother, Vartan made a major impression on my 16-year-old self. When I spotted him on TV’s “Alias” six years later, I was hooked.
Chatting with press about his appealing turn in the Jane Fonda-Jennifer Lopez vehicle “Monster-in-Law” (Vartan plays Fonda’s son and the dreamboat object of Lopez’s affection), Vartan was unsurprisingly inundated with pointed Jennifer Garner-Ben Affleck questions. I probably cringed more than he did.

Michael Vartan Talks About “Monster-in-Law” and “Alias”
Posted on 05.11.2005 in Interviews and Monster-in-Law | 0 CommentsMichael Vartan (“Alias,” “Never Been Kissed”) stars as the doctor Jennifer Lopez and Jane Fonda fight over in the romantic comedy, “Monster-in-Law.” Fonda plays Vartan’s wicked mom while Lopez co-stars as the temp worker who steals his heart.
Jennifer Lopez describes her co-star as the perfect onscreen boyfriend and says he’s the real thing. Lopez added to her praise of Vartan by labeling him sweet, very genuine, and an actor without any ‘phony airs.’ In Hollywood it’s the norm to hear co-stars describing each other in such glowing terms. It’s just part of the job of selling a movie. But in the case of Michael Vartan, it’s super easy to believe Lopez is telling the truth.
One of the most unassuming, self-deprecating actors I’ve had the chance to interview, Vartan comes across as totally down-to-earth guy you can easily envision fitting in in almost any type of environment.
Check out what he had to say about working with Jane Fonda, Jennifer Lopez, the next season of “Alias,” and how he handles rumors:
