A baby-faced Marsden burst onto the small screen in 1993 (via IMDB), with bit parts in TV movies like In the Line of Duty: Ambush in Waco, and shows like Saved by the Bell: The New Class, and The Nanny. Back then, he was billed as "Jimmy Marsden," emphasizing his youth. These three jobs set Marsden, then on the cusp of turning 21, on a television hot streak. Over the next few years, he'd pop up in Blossom, Party of Five, and Touched by an Angel, among others. A recurring role in Second Noah, in 1996, established Marsden as a burgeoning screen presence.
The early 2000s gave the actor a taste at movie stardom as Cyclops in X-Men, along with its follow-ups X2: X-Men United, and X-Men: The Last Stand. He also had a funny cameo in Zoolander as a preening, supermodel version of John Wilkes Booth, and even showed up in romantic weepy, The Notebook. The year 2001 also brought a starring role in Ally McBeal.
