As you're well aware by now, Jake T. Austin is one of the stars of ABC Family's buzzed-about drama series The Fosters. The 18-year-old cutie pie actor plays an adopted young Latino teen named Jesus Foster on the show, which centers on an interracial lesbian couple raising a diverse set of kids, both foster and biological.

Superstar Jennifer Lopez serves as an executive producer of the series, which airs tonight at 9/8c. The show was co-created and written by Peter Paige, Brad Bredeweg, Simon Fields, and Greg Gugliotta.
