He is a 1988 graduate of&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.classmates.com\/places\/school\/Glenbard-West-High-School\/4786?s=80640\">Glenbard West High School<\/a>, in Glen Ellyn, IL, where he participated in drama, choir, and orchestra. Hayes\u2019 first brush with fame happened while he was still a teenager. He ended up as an extra in&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.classmates.com\/blog\/listicle\/high-school-movies-to-revisit-before-your-reunion\/?s=80640\"><em>Lucas<\/em><\/a>&nbsp;(1986), which was being filmed at his high school. Hayes\u2019 early career included stints as a music director and a classical pianist. He moved on to standup comedy and acting in the 1990s. In 1998, he landed perhaps his biggest role to date, the character of Jack McFarland in the popular sitcom&nbsp;<em>Will &amp; Grace<\/em>&nbsp;(1998-2006). Film credits include&nbsp;<em>Cats &amp; Dogs<\/em>(2001),&nbsp;<em>The Cat in the Hat<\/em>&nbsp;(2003),&nbsp;<em>Pieces of April&nbsp;<\/em>(2003),&nbsp;<em>The Bucket List<\/em>&nbsp;(2007), and&nbsp;<em>The Three Stooges<\/em>&nbsp;(2012). Hayes also starred in the comedy series&nbsp;<em>Sean Saves the World<\/em>&nbsp;(2013-2014). In 2004, he co-founded the TV production company Hazy Mills Productions, which has produced&nbsp;<em>Hot in Cleveland<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Grimm<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Sean Saves the World<\/em>, and&nbsp;<em>Hollywood Game Night<\/em>. Hayes will return to the role of Jack McFarland when&nbsp;<em>Will &amp; Grace<\/em>&nbsp;airs a new season in 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Awards (partial):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Primetime Emmy Award for&nbsp;<strong>Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series<\/strong>&nbsp;for&nbsp;<em>Will &amp; Grace<\/em>. 2000<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Screen Actors Guild Award for&nbsp;<strong>Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Comedy Series<\/strong>&nbsp;for&nbsp;<em>Will &amp; Grace<\/em>. 2002, 2003, 2006<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Screen Actors Guild Award for&nbsp;<strong>Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series<\/strong>&nbsp;for&nbsp;<em>Will &amp; Grace<\/em>. 2001<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Source: Wikipedia<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sean Hayes Actor, Comedian, Producer Birthdate:&nbsp;Jun 26, 1970 High School:&nbsp;Glenbard West High School Yearbooks:&nbsp;1985&nbsp;|&nbsp;1988 Yearbook photos of Sean Hayes from&nbsp;Glenbard West High School &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Sean Patrick Hayes&nbsp;(born June 26, 1970) is an actor, comedian, and producer.
