    Most recently, Jason starred for two seasons as 'Joe Strong', an angel tattoo artist with a strong moral compass, on NBC's supernatural drama series Midnight, Texas. The series is adapted from the best selling books by True Blood author Charlaine Harris, and centers around the residents of a small Texas town who also have supernatural abilities.

    Some of his television work includes recurring and guest star roles on ABC's family drama series Brothers & Sisters opposite Matthew Rhys. House M.D. with Hugh Laurie and Kal Penn, as well as Animal Kingdom, The Evidence, Six Degrees, CSI, CSI: Miami, How I Met Your Mother and Charmed.

    Some of his other feature work includes: MGM's psychological thriller Mr. Brooks (Demi Moore and Kevin Costner); the independent film, The Pardon (John Hawkes and Jamie King); Warner Bros. drama The Jacket, (Adrian Brody); Nu Image Films' The Death and Life of Bobby Z, (Paul Walker and Laurence Fishburne); and the independent thriller The Attic (Elizabeth Moss).

    Additionally, Jason also starred as the lead in Kenneth Lonergan's world-renowned stage play This Is Our Youth, for director Woody Harrelson in Toronto.

    Born and raised in Southern California, Jason's first major break in entertainment was in fashion, as a model. Jason quickly became one of the top male models and modeled in campaigns and on runways worldwide for some of the most luxurious houses, including Versace, Dolce and Gabbana, Calvin Klein, Hugo Boss, Tommy Hilfiger, Michael Kors, and GUESS.

    In addition to acting, Jason is a passionate philanthropist and has supported many charities over the years. Currently, he is very active with the charity Best Buddies, a non-profit organization founded by Anthony Kennedy Shriver. The charity works to foster friendships and opportunities for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Most recently, Jason has begun working with Habitat for Humanity and plans to grow his involvement with this organization as well.

    Jason splits his time between Los Angeles and New York City.

Quotes

  • People have these ideas of what you're supposed to do to have a career, like play against type, or don't revisit a character. I'm just not that precious. It's not that big a fucking deal. Of course you'd like to do a broader range. But it's nothing I worry about.
