Mini bio

Jason got his start on professional sets in the 1990s with roles in Disney's The Ernest Green Story and Stone Cold, but his path has been anything but conventional. A former U.S. Navy Cryptologist, Jason sustained a traumatic brain injury during service resulting in facial reconstructive surgeries. After leaving the military, Jason worked as a DJ (including MTV's 1996 Spring Break at Club La Vela), managed in both retail and construction, and launched a successful board and card game business.

In 2011, after a nearly 20-year break from performing, he returned to acting with a small role in the indie feature Anyone. The spark reignited, Jason quickly established himself as a versatile, reliable talent in independent film and theater.

Since then, he has amassed many film and television credits, earned consecutive "Best Film" wins with his team in the Little Rock 48 Hour Film Project, and gained millions of views with NukaZooka's viral YouTube project. His stage work has been equally commanding, with standout performances in Wait Until Dark (Mike Talman), A Streetcar Named Desire (Stanley Kowalski), The Shawshank Redemption (Bogs Diamond), and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (R.P. McMurphy).

In 2026, Jason can be seen as Master Morris in "Freedom's Path"(Amazon Prime), portraying the DJ in Joseph Kahn's "Ick" (Prime), as Remy and multiple stunt roles in "Hellfire" (Prime, Apple, etc.) with Nick Offerman in "Sovereign", and the upcoming feature "Come With Me " (Theo Rossi) as well as the Apple TV Series "Cape Fear" (June 2026, Javier Bardem, Amy Adams and Patrick Wilson).
