Unlike the other child stars, Jason has actually a pretty interesting background when he started his acting career. He was discovered by a Japanese casting agency when he was still young and they hired him for several commercials. His parents saw a great potential for his acting career, so they decided to move to LA to further Jason’s career. It seemed this strategic move worked in their favor. Jason’s career skyrocketed when he was cast as Jesse in 1993 hit Free Willy. His success gave way to continue his character all throughout the trilogy. His other prominent roles are Jesse in the 1993 hit Free Willy.

But, like the other child stars, he also took some time off the show business to pursue a college degree. After he got his BA, he went back to Hollywood films such as Bones and Criminal Minds last 2009. Ever since then, he’s been seen on and off in Hollywood films. But for those who know him better, he actually prefers off-screen participating such as becoming a director and assistant producer.
