Before Jason Schwartzman was known as an actor, he played drums and wrote songs for Phantom Planet. While with the band, he wrote the song "California," which would later be immortalized as the theme song for the popular Fox teen drama The O.C. and in the movie Orange County.
He left the band to pursue acting, however, and his on screen debut was as Max Fischer, the lead character opposite Bill Murray in director Wes Anderson's critically acclaimed film Rushmore. Schwartzman continued acting with roles in Slackers, I Heart Huckabees, and Shopgirl before reuniting with Anderson in 2007's The Darjeeling Limited, in which he, Adrien Brody and Owen Wilson play brothers on a trek through India attempting to recapture their fraternal bond.
Schwartzman did not give up on music in the meantime. In addition to composing music for the occasional film project, he started his own musical act called Coconut Records and released his first album in 2007.
