awwwwww

They say there's a hero born every day. Maybe I just say that to start a story. Tomorrow marks the birthday of a very big hero in life. You may think it's Ray Charles? Maybe John Coltrane? Neither. Springsteen? Don't make me laugh. Mickey Rooney? Close. Jason Alexander? Wrong again. Tomorrow marks the birth of Jamie Bergman.

Who?

Good question. Though you should know the answer already... Jamie Bergman is the wife of David Boreanaz. He was that vampire... whatshisname... Angel. Jamie Bergman, born in 1975, has some much cooler credits than Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Bones. Jamie was the female lead in Boa vs. Python. And that's only the tip of the iceberg.

Jamie Bergman started out in Salt Lake City, Utah. Eventually she took on a little competition and ended up representing St. Pauli beer as the St Pauli girl in 1999. It was only a matter of time until Playboy came knocking. She opened the door and got in plenty of videos and stuff. You, just as I, don't care about any of that-- we're big fans of Jamie for another reason.

In 2000, FX Network, now famous for dramas like Nip/Tuck and Rescue Me, premiered a spectacular show, lush with innuendo and awful jokes. The show was Son of the Beach, and Jamie was BJ Cummings. The show ran for three seasons. Did you know that?! Her character was a pretty good Pam Anderson knock-off. I enjoyed the show, but it came to and end.

You can't keep Jamie out of the game though. Before BJ Cummings, she played several other roles, like Blonde in Drag Race, Girl #2, Woman, Bombshell #1, and Party Girl. Surely she could get on the big screen again. She did, in Soulkeeper, a former SciFi Channel regular. In it, she played Buxom Blonde-- Jamie was back in action!

After being in the bitter Pauly Shore is Dead and the ill-fated Knee-High PI, Jamie went to work on her husband's show, for a small guest spot. Then comes the crown-jewel: Boa vs. Python. This movie had it all. Besides enormous snakes and guns (and plenty of Freudian imagery), it also had David Hewlett (from CUBE!), and Monica. Monica was the FBI agent/diver/marine life expert/technical genius who can hold her breath under water to win bets. It's all here, folks.

Thank you David Boreanaz for taking this lovely lady in and making her your wife. In 2002, Jamie gave birth to the couple's first son, Jaden Rayne, and while the kid will never get beaten up, despite the lame name (because he'll be rich), we can all rest comfortably knowing that he'll at least have to deal with the awkwardness of having a hot mom that all of his friends can Google pictures of. Since 2004's Boa vs. Python, Jamie has been off the screen, but we should all wait for her big return some time soon. Until then, I hope she's resting comfortably somewhere in LA.
