Biography
Jared Scott Gilmore was born on May 30, 2000, in San Diego, California. He has a twin sister named Taylor.

Unintentionally, Jared fell into acting after a chance encounter with agents initially looking to represent Taylor. While his sister left the business, he stuck with acting classes at John Robert Powers San Diego, a training school for actors, models, and singers, for two years beginning at age four. He landed spots in modeling T-shirts and doing commercials with eventual appearances on television and film.

He held a recurring role in the series Mad Men as Don Draper’s son, Bobby, as well as in Hawthorne and Talkshow with Spike Feresten, and guest starred on Men of a Certain Age, Roommates, Without a Trace and Passions. On the big screen, he starred in A Nanny for Christmas, The Back-Up Plan with Jennifer Lopez, and Opposite Day and Overnight.

In his spare time, Jared likes playing Xbox and computer games with his friends. He has two dogs, Cooper and Emma, a cat named Tiger, a rabbit named Benjalina and two guinea pigs named Ziggy and Zoey who travel with him from San Diego to Vancouver during filming for Once Upon a Time.

Jared’s charity of choice is Rocking Horse Ranch, which helps youth and young adults who have suffered abuse, trauma, neglect and other hardships by pairing them with horses who have themselves been rescued out of abuse and other life-threatening situations. He is excited about being featured in an upcoming PETA campaign running in the fall of 2013 encouraging his young fans to make their animals a part of the family and give them lots of love and affection.
