Jon Favreau (born on October 19, 1966) is an American actor and director.

Favreau was born in Queens, New York to an Italian American father and a Jewish American mother. He graduated from the Bronx High School of Science and attended Queens College and worked on Wall Street before moving to Chicago to pursue a career in comedy. He performed at several Chicago improvisational theaters, including the ImprovOlympic and the Improv Institute.

While in Chicago, Favreau landed his first film role, as the pudgy tutor D-Bob in the classic sleeper hit Rudy (1993). Favreau met Vince Vaughn—who also played a small role in this film—during shooting. The next year, he appeared in the college film PCU alongside Jeremy Piven, and also stepped into the world of television to play a guest role in several episodes of the sitcom Friends as Monica Geller's boyfriend Pete Becker. He also appeared in the 1994 episode of Seinfeld titled "The Fire" as Eric the Clown. He then moved to Los Angeles, where he made his breakthrough in 1996 as an actor-screenwriter with the film Swingers, which was Vaughn's breakthrough role as the glib and over-confident Trent Walker, a perfect foil to Favreau's heartbroken Mike Peters.
