Who is Jason Gedrick?
Born Jason Michael Gedroic on the 7th February 1965 in Chicago, Illinois USA, as Jason Gedrick he is an actor, perhaps still best known to the world as Doug Masters in the action film “Iron Eagle” (1986), and as Neil Avedon in the TV crime-drama series “Murder One” (1995-1996), among many other roles he has secured so far in his career.
What is Jason Gedrick Doing Now?
In recent years, Jason has focused on television roles, but has made an exception by securing lead roles in the films “Bella’s Story”, and “Act of Desperation” – although in post-production, both films are yet to receive a release date. Hopefully it will be soon, since Jason hasn’t appeared on film since the role of Doug Demas in the sports drama “Skating to New York”, which was released in 2013.

Career Beginnings
Almost immediately after moving to Hollywood, Jason secured his first role, though only an extra in the film “Bad Boys”, a thriller directed by Rick Rosenthal and starring Sean Penn, Reni Santoni and Jim Moody. However, it didn’t take long for Jason to start landing larger and popular roles, such as Lenny Barnes in the romantic comedy film “The Heavenly Kid” in 1985, co-starring Lewis Smith and Jane Kaczmarek.
“Iron Eagle” and Rise to Prominence
Continual Success
With the start of the new millennium, Jason continued with recurring roles in TV series, including “Falcone” (2000), “The Beast” (2001), and “Boomtown” (2002-2003). Nothing changed for Jason as his primary focus were television series, but over the years he became one of many actors who lost themselves in so many roles, failing to secure a long-time engagement. He emerged in 2015 with the role of serial killer Raynard Waits in the TV series “Bosch”, and the same year was Liam Cullen in the TV fantasy drama series “Beauty & The Beast”, while from 2016 to 2017 he portrayed Mark Hickman in the TV series “Major Crimes”. Most recently, he was cast as Sheriff Stone Geary in the TV mystery-drama series “Trouble Creek” (2017), for which he earned an IOWF Award nomination in the category of Best Actor.

1 | You want to know the truth? I'm one of the most juvenile people I know. Truly, I am stuck in like a 12 year old state. I mean, I'm goofy. If I had to describe myself, that's the only way I can put it. And the people who know me, even the people who just know me a little bit, they couldn't deny that I'm just a goofy guy. |
2 | Sure, I think everyone fantasizes about being bad, and the baddest thing you can be is in the mob. I do, too, sometimes. And I think even women wish they were going out with the guy from the mob 'cause he's cool and has money and is scary. But I think the idea of converting him into a choirboy is the true appeal. |
3 | I don't know if I'm king, but I'm definitely the court jester of critically acclaimed canceled TV series. But what are you going to do? I try to have a sense of humor about it, because there's no rhyme or reason sometimes why a show succeeds or doesn't. It's just the nature of the business. Luckily, I've been able to keep getting great roles and I continue to somehow survive through it all. |
4 | Maybe the real reason I'm a performer is because I'm the youngest of three kids. Maybe it was a way to get attention. And ultimately, as I look back on it now, I'm kind of curious. Maybe that's it. As an actor, I can investigate and analyze many different ways of living, the psychology of different people. I really don't want to get too pedantic here, but I just truly enjoy exploring other lives. That's always been fun for me. |
