Amber has the extreme privilege of speaking with the incredibly  talented, Emmy award winning Jai Rodriguez! From the stage, to the  little screen, and now even the big screen, he is one busy man. Find out  how he got into show biz. Hear some great stories from his career, and  find out what's next for the man who has done it all. Well, not yet, but  he's working on it!  Emmy Award-winning television host/actor Jai Rodriguez began his career  at age 18 when he was cast in the role of Angel in the critically  acclaimed Broadway musical RENT. Jai continued his Broadway career,  appearing in shows like The Producers and Spinning Into Butter, and he  created and performed the title role of Zanna in the Off-Broadway  sensation Zanna, Don't!. In tandem with his Broadway career, Jai became a  star in the firmament of New York City nightlife when he created his  long-running Twisted Cabaret, a concert series that ran for three  consecutive years at one of New York City's most notable hot-spots -  Club XL.  Most recognized for his role in Bravo's culturally groundbreaking series  Queer Eye For The Straight Guy, Jai created a niche role on the Emmy  Award-winning series as the 'Culture Vulture,' a youthfully savvy  addition to the show's already dynamic cast. Working regularly as an  authority in culture and style, Jai has hosted for a veritable grab-bag  of lifestyle entertainment programming including Styleyes Miami (SiTv),  America's Prom Queen (ABC Family), Ultimate Style (Style Network), two  consecutive season's of Groomer Has It (Animal Planet), and Model Latina  (SiTv). He was also an ABC official pre-show host for the 2009 American  Music Awards.  Jai returned to TV in dramatic roles on NBCs Harrys Law, ABCs Detroit  187, and Days Of Our Lives. He also plays Wayne Bradys husband Tom on  CBS hit How I Met Your Mother. Other roles include guest star  appearances on NBCs Are You There Chelsea?, FOXs Bones, and as a  transgender woman Amanda Knott on NBCs Harrys Law. Lately Jai has been  seen in Bros, Uncoupled, and will soon be seen on Fantasy Island.  Jai continues to be an advocate for issues he is passionate about,  working with organizations like the NOH8 Campaign, Aids Walk, Project  Angel Food, the Trevor Project and Love is Louder campaign which fights  bullying.
