Trivia

Has four sisters and one brother.

Failed the 9th grade.

Born to Janet Marie Gruye and James Ralph Kartheiser, he has four sisters, Andrea, Colette, Elise, and Theresa and a brother, Nathan.

Is the youngest out of 6 siblings.

Kartheiser told The Guardian (UK) that he often wears a wedding ring in his private life (even though he is not married and never has been) so that he "can flash it to warn people off if [he] need[s] to," and that he has "never been monogamous" in any relationship.

In an April 2010 interview with The Guardian (UK) newspaper, Kartheiser revealed that after experiencing some of the material excesses of Hollywood (such as awards shows where already-wealthy people receive gift bags full of expensive free items), he started a process of shedding his possessions that includes selling or giving away most of what he owns. He told the interviewer that he now no longer owns a car (even though he lives in Los Angeles, a city that is notoriously difficult to get around in without one) and he moved into a very small one-room house that doesn’t even have a toilet in it.

Personal Quotes

I was such a nerd when I was younger and I may look different now and girls may like me, but I still feel like that nerd.

I think it’s healthy to hate. I think it’s extremely healthy, because without hate, you cannot see love. Without red, there wouldn’t be any green. That’s not a very good metaphor but, you know, it’s the same.

I’m with my mom so much that it’s like if we go out to eat somewhere, we probably say ten sentences to each other. We’re like an old couple. There’s nothing that we have to say. It’s okay to sit there and just be.
