He has also appeared in ‘Pretty Little Liars’, ‘Supernatural’ and ‘Bones’ before scoring his starring role as Jimothy ‘Jimmy’ Barnes in the comedy ‘Significant Mother’.

The plot of ‘Significant Mother’ is about a guy (Jimmy) who sleeps with his best friends mother and starts a relationship. The series guest stars Jonathan Silverman as the ex-husband of the friend’s mother. Silverman starred in the ‘Weekend At Bernies’ movies.
