Last great book he read : “The Known World,” by Edward P. Jones
On his iPod: Arcade Fire, Kanye West, Rufus Wainwright, Bruce Springsteen
Movie that never gets old: “Major League”
All-time favorite “Saturday Night Live” sketch: “OK, give me a second, and this pause is important. ‘Toonces the Cat Who Can Drive.’ Look it up.”
Drink of choice: Stella Artois
TV show he won’t miss: “I don’t really watch that much TV. OK, OK, ‘Mork & Mindy.'”
On the family act: (Jake is the younger brother of actress Maggie Gyllenhaal, whose fiance — and Jake’s “Rendition” co-star — is Peter Sarsgaard.) We just did ‘Into the Woods’ at the family reunion. Peter played the wolf, and I played Little Red Riding Hood. It’s always really intense but really moving. … We all cry at the end. When we sang that number, ‘No One Is Alone,’ it really got me. ‘Cause Peter has a beautiful voice — I don’t know if you know that about him.”
