Career
Best-known for his role as sexy CIA agent Vaughn on the ABC hit Alias. Michael was born November 27, 1968, in France. His mother is American, and his father is famed French singer Louis Vartan. His parents divorced when he was five years old, and as a child he shuttled between France and the U.S. At the age of eighteen, Michael moved to the States to avoid mandatory service in the French armed forces.
He made his acting debut in the French film "Un homme et deux femmes."
"The Pallbearer," in which he starred with David Schwimmer and Gwyneth Paltrow, was his first big American movie.
He had a minor breakout role as the charming English teacher in the hit "Never Been Kissed."
In 2001, Michael became a regular on the spy series Alias. He also briefly dated the show's star Jennifer Garner, who has since married Ben Affleck. Hockey is a passion with Michael, so much so that the creators of "Alias" worked it into the show.
Right now Mchael is working on Big Shots, which is a drama from Warner Brothers Television and ABC about four friends who are up and coming executives.
James is played by Michael Vartan and is the "moral center" of the group. He's married to Stacey, and they've been together since freshman year in college, but their marriage is in trouble. He just found out she was having an affair with his late boss. He relies on his "work wife", Katie, played by Nia Long, to keep him focused in the office.
