Biography
Professional skateboarder turned actor, Jason Lee has proven himself as versatile and engaging onscreen as he once was as skater, He was discovered by Kevin Smith, who gave him his first break with a lead role in Mallrats. A native of Huntington Beach, CA, Lee began skateboarding when he was 13. Five years later he had gone professional, traveling the world, appearing in a number of popular skateboarding videos, and, along with a friend, founding the company Stereo Skateboards and Stereo Sounds Clothing. Deciding to retire from skateboarding before he became too old for the sport and went to seed, Lee made his first foray into acting in 1993 with a walk-on role in Mi Vida Loca.
