Early life

Long was born in Fairfield, Connecticut, and raised in a Roman Catholic family.1 He attended Fairfield College Preparatory School, a Jesuit school. Long's mother, Wendy Lesniak,2 is an actress who has mostly appeared on stage, and his father, R. James Long, is a philosophy and Latin professor at Fairfield University. He has two brothers: an older brother, Damian, who is a local stage actor as well as a teacher and theater director at Weston High School, and a younger brother, Christian, who appears in the movie Accepted as the school mascot. Long attended Vassar College, where he was a member of the sketch comedy group Laughingstock and starred in several plays including Butterflies are Free. He left college early to pursue his career. Before leaving, he worked at Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, Connecticut as an acting instructor/counselor for a children's theater group. He dated Drew Barrymore in 2008, but then they split. In 2009 they reunited and are currently engaged.

Career

Long benefited early in his career from friendship with MGM casting agent Devon O'Brien, who gave him his first job in a Pepsi commercial alongside Clint Eastwood.

Long's film credits include Jeepers Creepers, Waiting..., Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story, The Break-Up, Crossroads, Galaxy Quest, Dreamland, Alvin and the Chipmunks and Live Free Or Die Hard.

Long is also known for his depiction of a Mac in Apple's Get a Mac campaign. The campaign features commercials in which Long as a Mac and John Hodgman as a PC are engaged in playful banter about "the strengths of the Mac platform and weaknesses of the PC platform."4

Long also had a small role in the 2008 comedy Zack and Miri Make a Porno, where he plays Brandon St. Randy, a gay porn star. He recently starred in He's Just Not That into You (2009) as the character Alex, along with co-star Ginnifer Goodwin.
