Jesse Bradford, Heights/Happy Endings

Jesse Bradford has been working his sizable charm before cameras since before he could walk. Now, at 26, the infant-tyke-teen actor has progressed to adult roles with no apparent emotional or psychological trauma. In Heights he is a serious, committed actor propositioned by a diva (Glenn Close) under the understanding that an affair could be a career maker. In Don Roos's Happy Endings, Bradford is a poseur, a would-be documentary filmmaker who is blackmailing Lisa Kudrow to star in his movie.
