- Loves animals and has a dog named Tierneh.
- Jared's birthday, July 1st, is also Canada's birthday, known as Canada Day.
- (on choosing his life work) I was playing junior hockey and I honestly thought until I was eighteen that I'd be on a college scholarship somewhere or maybe playing in the NHL, even though I was never a good scorer. The only only other thing I was really good at was acting. It wasn't until I stopped realistically thinking of hockey in my future that I started realistically thinking of something else, and acting was really the only thing.
