On September 8, 1981, Jonathan Taylor Thomas was born in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. He was raised in a relatively typical environment for the first eight or nine years. Still, his career in show business began in 1987 after his family moved to Sacramento, where he started to appear as a model in regional print advertisements. Following a few TV commercial gigs, he was hired to voice the character of Spot on the kid’s show The Adventures of Spot, which ran for three seasons and launched his acting career.
