Jason met and became friends with Russell Crowe while filming Mystery, Alaska. The two remain friends and have since worked on other projects together including the film A Beautiful Mind.
Jason Gray-Stanford(About Russell Crowe): I've worked with him twice now, and I've had an exquisite time both times. He's a private guy. He's a family guy. He loves his farm and his family and his friends.
Jason Gray-Stanford(About his character on "Monk"): If there is anything I would change about Randy, I would like to see him solve some more crimes and not be so far behind Monk. I'd like to see him catch up to Monk just a little bit.
Jason Gray-Stanford(About his character on "Monk"): I think Randy is loyal, ambitious, and eager. I think he often leaps before he looks which gets him into a little bit of trouble, but overall, I would say that Randy just wants to be a really great cop.
