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

In England, it's much easier to flip between doing television and film. It doesn't ruin one's career the way it sometimes does in America. I had to take that on faith, but from the moment I started working on it, it was the best fun I'd had in a really long time.

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

Sometimes a performance is best experienced with other people. The real advantage of television - that theater and the movies don't have - is you're allowed to talk through it.

In musical theater you have to be very big and very animated, while film and television are more toned down.
