This July marks the 30th anniversary of "Clueless"—can you believe it?

Jeremy Sisto made his film debut in 1991’s "Grand Canyon," playing a high school student alongside stars like Kevin Kline and Steve Martin. Yet, it was his role opposite Alicia Silverstone in *Clueless* that truly put him on the map. "At the time, it felt like a bit of a snag," Sisto reveals in the latest Us Weekly issue. He candidly shares, "The other films I had done weren’t as successful as I’d hoped." However, his career flourished, leading to diverse roles, including the title character in the 1999 Italian miniseries *Jesus* and a recovering addict in 2003's "Thirteen."

Today, Sisto stars in the CBS hit "FBI" (Tuesdays, 8 p.m. ET). As he approaches a significant episode for his character on February 4, Sisto reflects on his Hollywood journey. "The path is essentially shaped by what I get offered," he quips. "I don’t turn down many roles because they all seem enjoyable, especially knowing they want me." For him, the highlight of acting remains simple: "Getting to keep doing it. Every offer is a high."

Highlights from Sisto’s Memorable Roles

‘Clueless’ (1995)

At just 21, Sisto reunited with costar Silverstone for this iconic coming-of-age film. "We leaned on each other, figuring out how to handle teenage pressures," he shares. What makes "Clueless" special? "It’s the genuine sweetness that lies at its core."

‘Six Feet Under’ (2001 – 2005)

Winning the role of Billy Chenowith, who grapples with bipolar disorder, felt like a "gift" and a "confidence booster," according to Sisto. He adds, "Every episode reminded me how much creator Alan Ball believed I could manage the heavy scenes." The series finale remains a standout moment for him: "Every great show should end like that. It was perfect."

‘Take Me Out’ (2004)

Sisto excelled as a bigoted baseball player in this West Coast production, earning a Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle Award. To portray the "small-minded" Shane Mungitt, he explains, "I lived with the mindset that everyone was against me." He looks forward to returning to the stage someday as his children get older.

‘Law & Order’ (2007 – 2010)

Sisto joined this iconic NBC legal drama without having seen an episode, as he didn’t own a TV. "Before becoming the detective, I did one episode as a lawyer to understand the show," he recalls, humorously noting that he memorized all of Sam Waterston's lines—meant for a different character! His portrayal of Detective Cyrus Lupo spanned over 60 episodes.

‘Suburgatory’ (2011 – 2014)

In the ABC sitcom, Sisto played single dad George Altman. He remarks, "It was the perfect time in my life to do comedy, given I had young kids." He shares two children—daughter Charlie, 15, and son Bastian, 12—with wife Addie Lane. He quickly connected with Jane Levy, his onscreen daughter.

‘Break Point’ (2014)

Sisto made his writing debut in "Break Point," focusing on tennis-playing brothers, alongside opponent Gene Hong. "We loved sports comedies and wanted a wild character in that country-club world," he explains. The film also featured David Walton, J.K. Simmons, and Amy Smart. Thanks to post-production magic, Sisto even improved his tennis game: "I didn’t know I could speed up my swing time!"

‘FBI’ (2018 – Present)

In the upcoming episode airing February 4, Assistant Special Agent in Charge Jubal Valentine faces significant challenges. Sisto expresses his enjoyment of playing the talkative federal agent in Dick Wolf’s procedural series: "The fun is in his playfulness and energy flowing throughout an investigation."

Earlier, SSP wrote that Pete Davidson discussed reducing his tattoo collection.
