Early Life

John Stamos was born John Phillip Stamos on August 19, 1963, in Cypress, California. He grew up with mother Loretta (a model), father William (a restaurateur), and younger sisters Janeen and Alaina. William was a Greek immigrant, and his surname was originally Stamatopoulos. When he was growing up, John worked at his father's fast food restaurants, and as a teenager, he worked at Duke's and Yellow Basket in Orange County. While attending John F. Kennedy High School, Stamos played drums in the school's marching band and loved listening to The Beach Boys (who he would end up performing with later in life). John planned to attend Cypress College in 1981, but he decided to focus on an acting career instead and booked a role on "General Hospital" 3 weeks later.

TV and Film Career

Stamos played Blackie Parrish on soap opera "General Hospital" from 1982 to 1984, earning a Daytime Emmy Award nomination (Outstanding Actor in a Supporting Role in a Daytime Drama Series) and 2 Soapy Awards (Most Exciting New Actor and Outstanding Actor in a Supporting Role). He won lead roles on CBS sitcom "Dreams," which ran for 12 episodes in 1984, and NBC's "You Again?," which aired 26 episodes from 1986 to 1987. In 1986, he made his big screen debut with a starring role in "Never Too Young to Die." John began playing Jesse Katsopolis (aka "Uncle Jesse") on ABC's "Full House" in 1987 and appeared in all 192 episodes of the sitcom's 8 seasons.

After "Full House" ended, Stamos guest-starred on several TV shows, including "Tales from the Crypt" (1993), "The Larry Sanders Show" (1995 and 1997), and "Friends" (2003). He played the lead role on ABC's "Thieves" (2001) and "Jake in Progress" (2005-2006); he also produced both series, a role he would take on again for "Grandfathered" and "Fuller House." Stamos played Dr. Tony Gates on 65 episodes of NBC's "ER" from 2005 to 2009 and landed the lead role on Fox's "Grandfathered," which ran for 22 episodes from 2015 to 2016 and earned him a People's Choice Award for Favorite Actor in a New TV Series. John played a doctor again in 2016, starring as Dr. Brock Holt on season 2 of Fox horror-comedy series "Scream Queens," and that year, he also reprised the role that made him a household name on Netflix's "Fuller House," which ran for 5 seasons. Stamos also landed a notable role on Lifetime's "You" (which moved to Netflix for the second season), playing Dr. Nicky, a therapist with questionable ethics, in 5 episodes (2018 to 2019). Though John is mostly known for his work on television, he has appeared in several films, including "Party Monster" (2003), "Father of Invention" (2010), and "My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2" (2016), and he voiced a penguin in 2007's "Farce of the Penguins," which was directed by "Full House" co-star Bob Saget.

John and Caitlin met while guest-starring on "Law and Order: SVU" in 2011, but they did not begin dating until 2015 after McHugh attended a taping of a "Fuller House" episode that her roommate appeared in. John proposed at Disneyland, Caitlin's favorite place, and they welcomed son William on April 10, 2018.

In 2018, John and Caitlin created a jewelry line, St. Amos Jewelry, donating all the proceeds to Childhelp, a foundation that is dedicated to helping victims of child abuse. Stamos is a huge Elvis Presley fan and won a TV Land Award for Favorite Elvis Impression in 2007.

In 2008 John paid $900,000 for a unit on the 10th floor in the Eastern Columbia building in downtown Los Angeles. Stamos' unit sports 14 foot ceilings, stainless steel appliances, massive tubs, hardwood floors, and an open plan layout.  There are hued windows to let in lots of light, and the building provides a great deal of privacy as well.
