The quirky character is coming to a TV screen near you

based on the Numerology of Hans Decoz

If you’re a fan of contemporary films of the indie persuasion -- I Heart Huckabees, Rushmore, The Darjeeling Unlimited -- then Jason Schwartzman is something of an icon. If not, you’ll be acquainted with him very soon, because he’s currently starring in a brand-new HBO comedy series, Bored to Death, sure to fare just as well as his film work.

Not only was he born in the acting Mecca of Los Angeles, California, but Jason Schwartzman was also born into one of the most respected families of filmmakers to date. His uncle is infamous director Francis Ford Coppola, and his cousins are director Sofia Coppola and actor Nicolas Cage, not to mention a slew of other prominent family members in the film industry. Jason’s Heart’s Desire number is 12/3, in which the gift of self-expression and a knack for verbal arts, such as acting and writing, are abundant. This number quickly came into play at a young age. Before he began acting, he was a drummer and songwriter for popular rock band, Phantom Planet.

Eventually, Jason Schwartzman left music for acting, as his Life Path number at 23/5 signifies a strong need for freedom, variety and adventure. He has admitted that many of his popular roles mirror that desire to chase after something on his own accord, whether it’s a real-life career goal or on-screen love interest. The 5 also means that he loves being involved in many projects at once, but not necessarily tied down to one in particular -- which is why he got back into music in 2007 as a solo artist under the name Coconut Records, while continuing to act.

Jason Schwartzman is a versatile actor with both mainstream likeability and indie credibility, due to his risk-taking roles that seamlessly switch from big budget (Marie Antoinette) to the more understated (Shopgirl). This is a result of his Personality Number at 25/7, making him mysterious and different, yet confident and courageous in everything he does -- attributing to Jason’s quirky and offbeat persona. And since the 7 makes him so independent and individualistic, it's fitting that he decided to jump back into music as a solo act for the freedom to make his own decisions and write his own songs.

In Bored to Death, his new comedy on HBO, Jason Schwartzman plays a 30-something character named Jonathon -- an alcoholic writer who poses as a private detective after a bad break-up. To play the role convincingly, Jason once again must tap into his Life Path Number 5 to find inspiration while searching for something -- and in this case, that "something" is finding a new purpose in life, while breaking a few rules.  

Jason Schwartzman’s Birthday Number 26 breeds a strong sense of ambition and sound judgment that has led him to this success. His current Pinnacle Number 5 shows a period of expansion, adventure and excelled learning as a result of his TV star status. His challenge will be in grounding himself while not limiting his need for freedom. But with Jason’s numbers in order, that shouldn’t be too hard.
