Birthplace:
Orange County, California, USA

Jason Michael Lee

Dennis Pepper and Linus Peacock
Born in Orange County, California, USA but raised in Huntington Beach, California, USA.

A good-looking goof with a flair for comedy, Lee became a professional skateboarder in his teens. He segued to acting in his twenties with a supporting role in Kevin Smith's 1995 comedy Mallrats. The movie went bust but Lee and Smith became buddies and worked together on a number of subsequent projects. Although this appealing actor popped up in a handful of major Hollywood releases, he remained primarily an indie darling, known for his quirky performances and strangely named son,

More Pilot Inspektor. In 2005, Lee took a gamble on the small screen as the star and producer of My Name Is Earl, a hilariously offbeat and surprisingly successful sitcom. Jason is also making his move into feature films with a movie coming out in 2006 and two in 2007.

    he's cool hide show

    Most of you probably only know him from my name is earl. and that's okay, but i became an even bigger fan of him when i looked him up in wikipedia. of course his acting career is great, he's really funny and all.
    But did you know he was a pro-skater in the late 80's and early 90's? He was one of the most influent skateboarders ever! He and danny way are considered the best. that means he's is even better than tony hawk!
    And it's funny to see how a career can suddenly change, i mean from skateboarder to actor. that unusual. but cool.

    just wanna let you know: he is AWESOME!

    From Mallrat to Household Name hide show

    When I first saw Jason Lee in mallrats I knew stright away that this was not the regular Hollywood actor and was destined for something great. Many years on and my thoughts are proven. Jason Lee has starred in movies with some of Hollywoods greats and is desreved a place of his own. From co star roles with Tom Cruise to multi(funny)part roles in Kevin Smiths "Universe" he has shown a lot of talent and flexibility. And now we finally have him at his best as the (anti)hero Earl. I believe that if this series had been cast with any other actor it would not be the current succes it is.
    Long Live Earl and Long Live Jason Lee :)

    Jason Lee is a great actor. Every time he I watch him, I can see his talent...................................................... hide show

    Jason Lee is a great actor. Every time he I watch him, I can see his talent. He is great on my name is earl and he's also a good producer. Jason Lee is also one of the most funniest people I have ever watched. He also has a great voice and thats what made his movie underdog so entertaining and funny. It can really be seen that every role that Jason Lee play's, he studies it and tries to make his acting skill as good and entertaining as possible. You can see I think he's a great actor so I gave Jason Lee a 10.

    This Mallrat has made quite the career out of being goofy. hide show

    Jason Lee has had a very good life as an actor. He has a genuine charm that makes his comedy seem sincere. When I saw Mallrats and learned how much damage a chocholate covered peanut could do to you I was hooked. His work with Kevin Smith is when you see Jason shine pretty bright. He is witty and probobly doesn't get as much credit for his talent as he should. In Dogma he was good but then he totally reinvented himself with my name is earl. The show has a unique storyline and I couldn't imagine anyone besides Jason playing Earl. Job well done Jason.
