Trivia / Jesse McCartney

• Breakup Breakout: A lot of people remember Dream Street rather fondly, but there there's no doubt the he's the only one from the band who achieved lasting mainstream popularity as an adult singer after they broke up.
• Playing Against Type: He plays a pretty messed up and creepy person in his Law & Order episode. And his character on Fear the Walking Dead isn't exactly pleasant, to put it mildly.
• Similarly Named Works: Hilariously enough, his song "How Do You Sleep?" is not a cover of the inflammatory song John Lennon wrote about that other, more famous McCartney. Jesse's is even a Silly Love Song, which the other McCartney is the Trope Namer for.
• What Could Have Been: He was originally cast as Zuko in The Last Airbender, but willingly stepped down in favor of Dev Patel when it finally dawned on the crew that they'd managed to cast all four lead characters in an extremely Asian-inspired story with white actors. This is universally considered the best thing he could have done, given how the film turned out.
