Jason, could you tell us how did you approach the world of acting? And when did you decide it could be your work?
It was something I was always interested in. When I was a kid, I dabbled in it a little, but stopped because my parents wanted me to focus on school. Ironically I got back into it when I was approached by a casting director while working my college job. Once I worked on a few projects, I realized I could make a career out of it.
Which are the most important moments to date in your career?
I feel every moment is an important one. Everything leads to something else or is a learning experience. If I had to pick one moment though, it would be meeting fashion photographer Chiun-Kai Shih. He really believed in me and jump started my career. Everything I do can be traced back to him, even shooting with Richard.
You posed as a model, could you tell me the main differences and common features of the two worlds? What do you like most in being a model and what in being an actor?
I approach both jobs with a similar mindset. Whether it’s a photo shoot or a film shoot, I portray a given character that conveys emotion into the lens. The biggest difference with modeling is you try to tell a story in a single shot without words; on film you get to show more of a character and his story. Each has their challenges. I love both. I love getting that perfect shot with modeling, it’s an amazing feeling. As far as acting, I love exploring a character and interacting with other performers.
How was posing for Richard?
Richard is wonderful to shoot with! He and I have had the opportunity to work together five or six times over the last few years. We’ve both grown so much in that time, which allows us to constantly bring a new dynamic to our photos.
You are also a stuntman, if I’m right. Tell us something about that world. Is it really dangerous as one can imagine?
There’s always a risk in everything you do, stunt or not. The best part about stunt work is the people you work with and the comradery between everyone. So much attention is focused on safety that I have never felt in danger. In my opinion, it’s the simple stunts where you’re most likely to get injured because you start feeling complacent.
What’s the weirdest thing you have done on set? And the most dangerous one?
A few years ago I was shooting a few scenes for Universal’s “Wolfman” trailer and had to get electrocuted in one of them. They wanted this long, continuous, blood curdling scream. It took three or four takes to get, but I completely lost my voice for about a week. They ended up not even using the scene! As far as dangerous, I went skydiving for an athletic brand one time, but I would’ve gone anyway. I love a good adrenaline rush!
Since this blog is about style. Can you tell me how is your relationship with fashion? How can you define your personal style?
Fashion and I get along quite well. I keep up to date with trends in GQ and usually attend Fashion Week in New York. My personal style is clean, simple and slim fitting.
Personal motto?
Keep moving forward and trying new things.
Your definition of beauty?
Beauty’s definition to me is uniqueness. A person’s look and personality, art, nature, man made structures – what makes all of those things beautiful is the unique features they possess. The great part about beauty is that it’s found everywhere.
Plans and projects for the future?
I have a few cover shoots coming up and I am working on a film called “The Lead”. I’ll be doing some work with HondaJet next month as well. Beyond that, I want to focus more on film and television for 2013.
