- Birth Year: 1962
- Hometown: Los Angeles, California
- Occupation: TV Writer/producer best known for his acting roles on The Naked Truth and Rude Awakening
- Little known fact: Jonathan co-produced, co-wrote and starred in the 1994 Oscar-nominated short Down On The Waterfront. He's been married for 16 years.
- Chance of winning: Good. He's certainly had the experience: this is Jonathan's third Survivor, after Cook Islands and Micronesia (which he left due to an injured knee). Jonathan's charismatic and knows the game, but--and it's a big but--he can be angry and rude. He frequently interrupted host Jeff Probst and was described, by Cook Island competitors, as "a cancer" on his tribe.
