It looks as though ABC isn't ready to let go of Jason yet. He has been added to the cast of David E. Kelley's remake of the BBC drama Life on Mars. Production began in August 2007, and possibly could be ready for midseason 2008.
(edit)
Jason's producing credit for the Marlowe pilot was the first time he had been credited as a producer for a television series. However, Marlowe wasn't picked up as a series by ABC.
(edit)
Jason starred in Resident Evil: Extinction as Albert Wesker. This film was the second project on which Jason had worked with Paul W.S. Anderson, the director for the pilot Drift.
(edit)
The Hollywood Reporter (June 14, 2006) announced Jason has signed another talent holding deal with ABC and Touchstone Television. According to Touchstone Executive Vice President Julia Franz, "We've had a phenomenal working experience with Jason, We believe he's a major breakout star who has everything we look for in a leading man." Executive Vice President of Casting for ABC & Touchstone Keli Lee said, "Jason is an enormous talent that we've believed in for years."
(edit)
Jason and his wife, Paige Turco, have an apartment on the Upper West Side in New York City and a house on the Connecticut shore.
(edit)
Jason: I don't sing or dance which probably stands in my favor, or I would have done some really nasty things in spangled G-strings by now.
(edit)
Jason: (on the prospect of worldwide stardom) I would be terrified of being Tom Cruise famous. Mostly I would be scared that being that famous would ruin you as an actor and make you vain as soon as you're vain you are in big trouble as an actor. I think I'm an actor more than a star.
(edit)
Jason: (on his role in Space Truckers) I had my own Jet copter and I had to say, I took a hit, I said I'm hit, I've lost my rear stabilizers. Aaargh!
(edit)
Jason: (to Matt Webb Mitovich after he mentioned he had once sent Paige roses) She's not very good with fan mail, or roses, or... I actually accidentally punched her in our first fight scene on The Agency - broke the skin over her eye, requiring stitches - and I felt so bad about it. That's when I started realizing I had feelings for her. Maybe she likes that kind of treatment better, because we ended up getting married and now have a 2-year-old son! She doesn't respond so much to the roses.
(edit)
Jason: (regarding The Ageny and his wife, Paige) It was one of those shows about spies with sexual tension, and it seems like we sort of went over the side and brought it home with us.
