A native of St. Albert, Canada, Thompson left home at the young age of 18, to find fame and fortune in the modeling industry. Soon thereafter, a respectable career in modeling and commercials - including for The Gap - allowed Jason to pay the bills and afford to travel internationally. Thompson admits that becoming an actor was never far from his thoughts.

In just a few short years, Thompson built an impressive resume of theater, film and television credits. His theater credits include lead roles in the plays The Academy, More Than You and Jakob. Thompson also starred in the films Wishmaster 4: The Prophecy and Divide.

More recently, Thompson landed guest roles as a series regular on television shows Deep, Felicity, Zoe, MTV Undressed, and Flipper.
