Actor Jerry O’Connell is heading on a different career path. The actors rep informed Usmagazine.com that the actor is enrolled at Los Angeles’ Southwestern Law School.

“He is very excited to be starting his law school education here at Southwestern,” Leslie Steinberg, the school’s Assistant Dean of Public Affairs, tells Us. “He just had orientation last week, and he started classes this week.”

Steinberg says that even though O’Connell — who welcomed twins with wife Rebecca Romijn last January — has “been out of school for awhile,” he’s “very excited and enthusiastic” about his studies.

Now who’s gonna take care of the twins?
