Unfortunately, his first leading role was a short-lived one the series was the first cancellation victim of the 2014 season. In 2014, he was cast as the male lead in the romantic comedy series "Manhattan Love Story," about two young New Yorkers navigating the ups and downs of a relationship. When the show ran its course after a single season, McDorman moved to Showtime's "Shameless" to play Emmy Rossum's love interest for two seasons. The following year, he was initially cast as a recurring love interest for Laura Prepon's lead in the pilot for "Are You There, Chelsea?" (NBC, 2012), but then replaced comic Jo Koy as a series regular, playing the bartender at the sports bar where the main characters worked. ![]() When the program concluded its network run, McDorman pursued more mature and dramatic projects, and landed the title role in "The Craigslist Killer" (Lifetime, 2011), a TV-movie based on the real-life crimes of Philip Markoff. That same year, he returned to series regular work on "Greek" as the popular president of a fraternity. Within a few years, he had graduated to romantic leads in teen-oriented features like "Aquamarine" and "Bring It On: All or Nothing" (2006), as well as smaller roles in mainstream films like "Live Free or Die Hard" (2007). After making his screen debut in an industrial film about the Boy Scouts, McDorman worked steadily as a juvenile player on episodic television with guest turns on "Run of the House" (The WB, 2003-2004) and as a series regular on "Quintuplets" (Fox, 2004-2005). Born John Allen McDorman IV in Dallas, Texas on July 8, 1986, he developed an interest in acting in his early teens, and trained at the Dallas Young Actors Studio while completing high school. Not only is Aquamarine a girly story about a mermaid, it's about love and friendship.Actor Jake McDorman successfully transitioned from leads in youth-oriented films and television projects like "Aquamarine" (2006) and "Greek" (ABC Family, 2007-2011) to adult roles on "Shameless" (Showtime, 2011- ) and "Manhattan Love Story" (ABC 2014). I decided to watch it again and it seriously took me back to the days when I secretly hoped mermaids were real! It's such a cute movie and makes me feel so summery and nostalgic. I know I'm not alone in my mermaid obsession - and my obsession with Aquamarine! When I went to surf camp with my Girl Scout troop, I was in heaven! I would pretend I was a mermaid all the time. When the Coconut Girl aesthetic became popular on Pinterest, it made me so nostalgic! My parents even painted my room with a palm tree because I loved the beach. The movie Aquamarine was a film that captured a distinct period of time: pre-teens in the early 2000s that were obsessed with the beach and mermaids! There seemed to be a lot of shows and movies in that timeframe that were set on or around the beach: Laguna Beach, The OC, H2O, etc. You call your best friends to come over to swim and play mermaids. The year is 2006 and you just got out of school for summer break.
