I thought I'd never do film, let alone television. I was a diehard theater nut.

Jason has an excellent career that includes theater, film, television and commercials. He has a great deal to offer our students, and most importantly, he is interested in helping young people achieve as performers.

I love being funny! I started in the theater when I was 9 and, believe it or not, always played the funny part!

With a film like this that's starting with what would traditionally be the last outlet - a television broadcast - we thought it would be better to go with everything else at once.

I did a film when I was about 30; it's a coming of age story called 'Gas Food Lodging,' and I'm so proud of that little independent film. I play this young English geologist, and he's such a simple, loving kind of guy. Doesn't talk too much. He's just a quiet guy, and he gets the girl.

The theater is a tough place. It's not cushioned the way it is in film and television.
