Jason Daniel Earles is an actor who is often cast in teenage roles thanks to his youthful facade. Born in San Diego, California on April 26, 1977, he studied and graduated from Rocky Mountain College, the same campus where he met his wife.
In 2003, Earles entered show business as the Swirley Kid on MADtv. This paved the way for other acting projects such as roles on The Shield, Still Standing, National Treasure, One on One, American Pie Presents: Band Camp and Phil of the Future.
In 2006, Earles landed his breakthrough role as Jackson Stewart, the older brother of Miley Stewart (Miley Cyrus) on the Disney series Hannah Montana. Since then, he has lingered on the spotlight, appearing in The Emperor's New School, Gordon Glass, Boston Legal, Dadnapped, Hannah Montana The Movie, Hunter and Kickin' It, where he plays the lead role.
"I’ve been acting since really early in elementary school. The first play I was ever in was Hansel and Gretel in the 3rd grade. I played Hansel and I always did plays in school from then on and tried to get into summer stuff."
"I love going to movies, so if I have a couple of days off, I'll always spend just like one whole day in the theater. I'll go around 12PM and I'll stay until 10PM and I'll see like, 4 or 5 movies that I haven't had a chance to see while I've been working. And then I'll play a lot of video games, ‘cause I'm sort of a loser that way. That's a lot of sitting around, so I try to do some active stuff too. I love to play Ultimate Frisbee. I like to go jogging. Just being outside in general is good. The sun is good."
