Jason Mewes

Bio

A New Jersey born and bred actor, who burst onto the cinema screens in 1994, playing the voice half of the on-screen comedy duo of Jay & Silent Bob, Mewes' cult-fan's beloved character "Jay" in his long time friend's (Kevin Smith) award winning Clerks. Mewes would continue on the role of "Jay" in a series of indie hits- Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Dogma, and later Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.

In 2006, the View Askew team went back to the well and Clerks II hit movie screens. Once again Mewes reprised the role of the fast talking, foul mouthed and over sexed but very likable "Jay" to go on to win MTv's Dirtiest Mouth Award in 2007, followed by Zack and Miri Make a Porno in 2008.

Moving beyond "Jay", Mewes has completed various commercials, music videos, and animated features as Jason's unique voice has added color and dimension to a variety of entertainment media, including video games. In 2010, Jason starred in mobster comedy "The Last Godfather" along with Harvey Keitel and Blake Clark, set for release April 1st. August 2010 Jason began his weekly podcast with Kevin Smith, "Jay and Silent Bob Get Old" which chronicles their early life together, Jason's drug addiction and gives a behind the scenes look at their careers together. Jason also starred in Todd and the Book of Pure Evil for CTV's SPACE channel in fall 2010 and has earned a strong cult sci-fi following.
