Last great book read: "The Known World," by Edward P. Jones.

[an error occurred while processing this directive]

On his iPod: Arcade Fire, Kanye West, Rufus Wainwright, Bruce Springsteen.

Movie that never gets old: "Major League."

All-time favorite "Saturday Night Live" sketch: "Okay, give me a second, and this pause is important. 'Toonces the Cat Who Can Drive.' Look it up." (Hint: It's a Steve Martin-Victoria Jackson bit.)

Drink of choice: Stella Artois.

Favorite place on Earth: The cliffs of Gay Head near Martha's Vineyard.

TV show he won't miss: "I don't really watch that much TV. Okay, okay, 'Mork & Mindy.' "

On the family act*: "We just did 'Into the Woods' at the family reunion. Peter [Sarsgaard] played the wolf, and I played Little Red Riding Hood. It's always really intense but really moving. . . . We all cry at the end. When we sang that number, 'No One Is Alone,' it really got me. 'Cause Peter has a beautiful voice -- I don't know if you know that about him."

* Jake is the younger brother of actress Maggie Gyllenhaal, whose fiance -- and Jake's "Rendition" co-star -- is Peter Sarsgaard.
