Biography
Personal life
Metcalfe was born in California,1 the son of Nancy (née DeMaio) and Scott Metcalfe. His father is of French and Italian descent and his mother is of Portuguese and Italian ancestry.23 Metcalfe, who played in several basketball leagues during his teen years, grew up an only child4 in Waterford, Connecticut and graduated from The Williams School, in New London, CT, but dropped out of New York University's Tisch School of the Arts in order to pursue a career as a writer/director.5
Career
Metcalfe moved to Los Angeles and attended an open casting call, successfully auditioning for the NBC soap opera Passions. He played Miguel Lopez-Fitzgerald, one of five siblings, from the show's debut in July 1999 -July 2004. He left Passions because he felt that he "wasn't really going to get anything more out of it."
In late 2003 and early 2004, Metcalfe made two guest appearances on the WB Network TV series Smallville as vindictive "meteor freak hunter" Van McNulty.
Metcalfe returned to television as the teenage gardener John Rowland on the popular ABC TV drama Desperate Housewives, where his character had a secret relationship with housewife Gabrielle Solis played by Eva Longoria, since the series' debut in October 2004. This was the role that made Metcalfe a household name, and he immediately gained attention for his well-toned body, particularly his smooth and muscular pectorals, emphasised by the fact that he appeared shirtless in almost every scene he was in. USA Today in November 2004 named him "the [show's] hottest sex symbol".6
However, his character was reduced to a recurring role because Metcalfe wanted to move on to other projects. He has only appeared in a few episodes of the 2nd season, 1 of the 3rd season, and 1 of the current season. However, he has stated that he will continue to make guest appearances in future seasons. Metcalfe also travels to Metro Detroit often where his managing agency is based.
Metcalfe is the fifth victim and the fifth star to appear on Punk'd more than once, after Ben McKenzie, Wilmer Valderrama, Omarion, and Jesse McCartney. His first appearance was when Metcalfe and Ashton Kutcher punk'd Eva Longoria for stealing thousands of dollars and fraud (false identity). His second is when Metcalfe was punk'd by Ashton Kutcher's crew members during the Spider-Man 3 audition. Metcalfe also appeared in 3 Doors Down "Let Me Go" video.
Metcalfe's first film role is in John Tucker Must Die, alongside Ashanti, One Tree Hill's Sophia Bush and Hairspray's Brittany Snow, in which he plays a wealthy and insincere teenage playboy high school basketball player. The film opened on July 28, 2006. Metcalfe hosted The New Paul O'Grady Show on October 26, 2006, because Paul was taking the week off on doctor's orders. Jesse had previously been interviewed on the show twice before.
Metcalfe sang 'Hey Jude' on the Soap Sessions 3: Beatle songs CD. He appeared in the 2008 movies American Cowslip as Jay, The Other End of the Line as Granger Woodriff, Insanitarium, and Loaded as Tristan Price.
Metcalfe recently returned back to the public attention when he hosted the World Music Awards in Monaco in November 2008. After "a couple glasses of champagne" at a party after the Awards, Metcalf fell off a second-story balcony and tumbled thirty to forty feet to the ground. He fractured a fibula, but avoided more serious injury. 7
