Jason basically kicked off his acting gig at 13, diving headfirst into the DC scene as Lolo on PBS’s Powerhouse—yeah, that one, the show critics loved but didn’t last long. Fast-forward a bit, he wraps up at University of Maryland and just… sticks around DC, making himself a regular at Round House, Shakespeare Theater, and Woolly Mammoth (still rocks up there sometimes, by the way). He eventually bounces to New York, links up with this wild creative crew called Rumble in the Red Room, and with Joel Jones, cooks up “Making Faces.” That sketch show? It won big at Aspen’s U.S. Comedy Festival in ’99. Not too shabby. LA comes calling next, and Jason lands a juicy guest spot on The Practice. That little role? Turns into A.D.A. Richard Bay—a regular by season five, until, well, the writers decide to go full drama and kill him off in a storm of bullets for the 100th episode. Gotta love TV. He keeps hustling on both coasts—acting, writing, the whole nine yards. Broadway? Oh, he’s there too: “Relatively Speaking,” “The Drowsy Chaperone,” “Sly Fox.” Plus, he’s got these short films about dad life, “Lords of the Playground,” which was cooking up at CBS. People might know him best from “The Practice” or popping up in Law & Order, but his comedy chops show up everywhere: “Everybody Loves Raymond,” “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” and more. Even in 2011, he’s still taking bows on Broadway. Guy never really slows down.
When you’re talking about the University of Maryland, College Park, you’re looking at a place that’s basically buzzing with energy. It’s not just some random campus in the middle of nowhere—it’s a huge, sprawling space packed with students sprinting between classes, chilling on the mall, or scarfing down food in Stamp. The school’s claim to fame? Definitely its massive research programs and sports teams that people get way too invested in. You’ll find a ridiculous amount of majors, from engineering that’ll make your head spin to artsy stuff where people are literally painting in the grass. And don’t even get me started on the basketball games—those are a whole event. If you’re a Terp (yeah, that’s what they call themselves), you’re basically part of this big, loyal family that never shuts up about their turtle mascot. Graduation there straight up feels like you’re joining a club for life, honestly.
