John Stamos (born August 19, 1963) is an American actor and the son of Bill (1934-1998) and Loretta Stamos (1936-1996). His paternal grandfather (1910-1977) had borne the name
Stamotopolous, and changed it to Stamos on immigrating from Greece to America.
Born in Cypress, California, John has two sisters, Janeen and Alaina. He has appeared in a number of movies, commercials and television sitcoms since 1982. He kicked off his acting career with a role in General Hospital, though he starred in a Coke ad which was never aired.
Stamos is probably most well known for his role as the character of "Jesse (Hermes) Katsopolis" in Full House (1987-1995), an "
Elvis-obsessed" rocker and motorcycle aficionado. Jesse moved in with his brother-in-law, Danny Tanner, to help him raise his kids (Donna Jo ("D.J."), Stephanie and Michelle) after the death of Danny's wife Pamela. Jesse has his own rock band called "Jesse and the Rippers." He is basically a "cool and carefree" guy who is a hot favorite amongst the opposite sex. Jesse has great hair, which he pampers a great deal. Later he marries Rebecca Donaldson, Danny's beautiful co-host on "Wake-Up-San Francisco." The couple has twins, Nicky and Alex.
John married supermodel Rebecca Romijn in 1998. This was the first marriage for them both, and they had no children. The couple separated in 2004.
On the muscial front, John has toured with The Beach Boys as a drummer on and off for 15 years.
In November 2000, Stamos was the winning bidder in the eBay auction of the Disneyland sign, with fourteen-foot-tall letters, which had stood at the entrance to the park for the past decade. He paid $30,700 for it.
Stamos will star in the TV series Jake in Progress debuting March 13, 2005 on ABC
