For the past few years talent agent Jim Toth was known as a rising star at the Creative Artists Agency, where he works with such stars as Robert Downey Jr. and Tobey Maguire. And his friends know him as a fun-loving, down-to-earth guy. But now Toth, 39, is getting a whole new level of recognition as the tall, handsome date who’s been out to several dinners with Reese Witherspoon, including one earlier this week. While sources say the pair are not exclusive, there is also talk that the duo has been seeing an awful lot of each other.

 Here is a closer look at Witherspoon’s new beau:

1. He worked his way up: Like many agents, before he was promoted, the ambitious Toth started in his agency’s mailroom, making deliveries and running errands. “I think I may have bought fruit for the entire agency on a daily basis,” he told The Hollywood Reporter in 2004. He now works with such clients as Forest Whitaker, Scarlett Johansson and Eliza Dushku.

2. He is a Lion at heart: Toth is a graduate of L.A.’s Loyola Marymount University (Go, Lions!), where he graduated with a major in political science. While there, he was a member of LMU’s 80-year-old service organization, the Crimson Circle, and pledged the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity.

3. He can hang ten: While he may have been born in western Pennsylvania, Toth has adapted to the California lifestyle and is an avid surfer.

 4. He’s a guy’s guy: His date may be famous for her chick flicks, but Toth prefers more manly entertainments, telling The Hollywood Reporter that his favorite all-time movie is “The Godfather, Part II,” and TV show is “Miami Vice.”

5. He’s a man about town: Known as an active dater, Toth is often seen out and about with his famous friends and clients. “He loves living the ‘Entourage’ life,” says a friend.
