When Shawn was seven years old, his father told him about Jack, but his mother kept his letters hidden from him. Despite his resentment of his father, Jack still desires relationships with him and Shawn, which leads him to choose Pennbrook in the hopes of becoming close to them. Jack’s aversion to his family’s alcoholism causes him to vow never to drink, and in one episode, he tries to save Shawn from it.

Despite being raised by his stepfather, Jack has a gambling problem and has a brief relapse when he places a school bet. Jack and Shawn have a sibling rivalry that is both amusing and hostile, and Jack became Eric’s roommate while pining for Rachel. He left the Peace Corps, ended his relationship with Rachel, and went to work for a corporation that wanted to buy Eric’s vote for a pipeline. After Eric reminds him of how simple life was when they were younger, he decides not to proceed with the pipeline.

Matthew Lawrence Brotherly Love

He appeared as Matthew “Matt” Roman, the middle child in the American sitcom television series Brotherly Love. He is easily swayed by peer pressure. His family also criticizes him for some of his actions. Matt was a total neat freak and germaphobe; at the age of one, he could change his own diaper, and he never got chickenpox during his entire childhood. He enjoyed doing the dishes and was known for odd habits such as making “Matt water” and folding his socks. Unlike Joe and Andy, he was never good with women.

He has a crush on Kristin, and it is stated in the episode “I scream, You scream” that Matt loves Kristen. He sang twice, once in an angel costume, singing the last two bars of “Silent Night” (A Roman Holiday), and again (Art Attack), when he played his mother’s guitar and sang a song called “Pigeon On Your Car,” which he wrote himself.
