Jared Leto got his start in television, gaining notoreity as illiterate heartthrob Jordan Catalano on the short lived ABC teen drama "My So-Called Life", opposite Claire Danes. He went on to star in such films as Girl, Interrupted, the cult hit addiction drama Requiem For a Dream, and more recently, the historical drama Alexander, opposite Colin Farrell, and the action flick Lord of War, co-starring Nicholas Cage. Jared stars as John Lennon's assassin Mark David Chapman in the drama Chapter 27, currently in limited release. He has completed filming on the sci-fi romance Mr. Nobody, co-starring Sienna Miller beau Rhys Ifans, Diane Kruger and Sarah Polley.
Jared and younger brother Shannon formed the band Thirty Seconds to Mars in 1998 along with friends. Their first studio album, "30 Seconds to Mars" sold a modest 100,000 copies since its 2002 release. Their second album, 2005's "A Beautiful Lie", with hits like "The Kill", "A Beautiful Lie" and "From Yesterday", went platinum with sales of over one million units. The band tours frequently in between Jared's filming schedule. They are currently on tour in Europe, with dates in Germany, Scotland, and England within the next week.
Gerard Way and his friend Matt Pelissier formed My Chemical Romance, also known as MCR, in the weeks following the September 11, 2001 attacks. They were later joined by Gerard's younger brother Mikey, Frank Iero, and Ray Toro. The band's first album, "I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love", was released on Eyeball Records in 2002. In 2003, the band signed a deal with Reprise Records. Their second studio album "Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge" went platinum within a year of release with hits like "I'm Not Okay (I Promise)" and "Helena". Drummer Pelissier was replaced, amid much controversy, by Bob Bryar in 2004. Their third album, 2006's " Black Parade" went platinum and spawned the hits "Welcome to the Black Parade", "I Don't Love You" and "Teenagers." Two of MCR's songs were featured in the 2005 horror film House of Wax. MCR has three upcoming shows scheduled for this week: two nights in Phillidelphia and one gig at Madison Square Garden in New York.

P.S. Sorry for the late post-internet problems.
UPDATE: The votes are in! Final tally:
Jared-1
Gerard-1
Ladies, ladies, ladies. Why must you make this so hard on me? As we have yet another tie, my vote goes to Jared. I love his large eyes. Gerard always looks pasty-like a corpse or something. Ew. Not hot. So, Jared is the winner this week.
Anyway, thanks for voting. My new post will be up sometime tonight, hopefully.
