Born in London and raised in Gainsborough, a small market-town in Lincolnshire, Jason was advised to pursue a career in rubber technology. He opted instead for three years at L.A.M.D.A. (London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art). His first television role was on BBC2's Jackanory (1965) in Hawkwing. Jason then did long runs in the London West End which included such plays as Melon with Alan Bates, The Sleeping Prince with Omar Sharif, Salome with Steven Berkoff and his Royal National Theatre productions, The Boiling Point and Absolute Hell.
Upon moving to America, Jason expanded his career in numerous roles and guest appearances. His television appearances include VIP, Angel, Charmed, GvsE, 3rd Rock from the Sun (2 episodes), Roar, Almost Perfect, and Diagnosis Murder.
In Beverly Hills, 90210 he portrayed Roy Randolph, the dashing British theatre director in 4 episodes. Not forgetting what Jason is most known for in Science Fiction, the role of the much loved and missed Marcus Cole on Babylon 5 (from 1995-1997). His credits also include numerous Television miniseries and made for TV movies, including Taking Liberty, Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris, Orchid House, Ellis Island, and Forever Young.
Jason's movie credits include Georgia, Dakota Road, The Emperor's New Clothes, and King David. Recently, Jason was seen in Showtime's Behind The Red Door (with Keifer Sutherland and Stockard Channing which aired in January and February 2003) and plays Dr. Pretory, the mesmerist in the film, The Mesmerist.
Currently Jason resides in Los Angeles, California with his Family.
