Jimmy Tatro's Most Popular Roles So Far

Jimmy Tatro plays James "Jim Boy" McCarden in "Bad Education," the son of a Long Island school district assistant superintendent named Pam Gluckin (Allison Janney). A bit of a screw-up, Jim Boy tries to do better and throws himself into renovating his mother's home. While buying supplies for the project, he uses one of her credit cards, which is linked to the Board of Education. The irregularity is flagged, and it quickly leads back to Pam when everyone realizes Jim Boy is related to her. Worse for her, it prompts people to dig deeper into the account, revealing years and hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of fraudulent activity.

When the smoke finally settles, Jim Boy's mom and the superintendent, Dr. Frank Tassone (Hugh Jackman), are both sentenced to lengthy prison terms. It all starts with Jim Boy buying tools and lumber — a gesture meant to help his mother, not put her behind bars.
