According to the unofficial Jared Leto Web site, maintained by legions of smitten Leto-heads, the 24-year-old high school dropout "doesn't eat Spam, his first kiss was bad and sloppy, and he hates shaving." Thanks to his role as Jordan Catalano, the shy kid on ABC's award-winning '94 series My So-Called Life, Leto has become the '90s James Dean: the angst-lite guy. "Just wait," he told Seventeen magazine, "''til they make the Dazed and Confused of my generation." He should be able to
handle it. "Jared walked in, and you went `whoa,'" says MSCL producer Marshall Herskovitz. "This is somebody who really has something." Playing against type in this winter's Going West, with Dennis Quaid and Danny Glover, he portrays a suspect in a search for a serial killer. Between projects, Leto keeps busy with mountain climbing, snowboarding and, he said
to YM magazine, "I immediately fall in love with every beautiful new girl I meet." Ladies, start your modems.
