Fictional character biography
In the pilot episode, Jack becomes the new roommate to Janet Wood and Chrissy Snow, after they find him one morning in their bathtub, after he blacked out at the going-away party of their previous roommate. Janet reasoned with the landlord, Stanley Roper who lived downstairs and he agreed that Jack could stay because Janet told Mr. Roper that Jack was gay, without Jack's knowledge. Jack was, however, actually straight, and a recurring point of comedy in the series stemmed from his having to pretend that he was gay around Mr. Roper, and after the Ropers left the show, their replacement landlord, Ralph Furley.[4] Jack is something of a ladies' man, but is also kind-hearted, loyal, and protective of the women he lives with.[5]
