Biography

Breakout movie star Jason Collett makes a statement in the upcoming star-packed gothic noir drama "The Devil All The Time" opposite Tom Holland, Haley Bennett, Robert Pattison, Bill Skarsgård, Jason Clarke and Riley Keough. The film is written and directed by Antonio Campos (The Sinner). Based on the novel of the same name by Donald Ray Pollock, "The Devil All The Time", takes place in the 1960s after World War II in Southern Ohio amongst a group of bizarre, compelling and disturbed people who suffer from the war's psychological damages. Collett plays Gary Matthew Bryson, a young man being drafted into the Vietnam war. Executive produced by Jake Gyllenhaal, the dark and gritty film intersects story lines with a sickly and unsettling ability to entangle viewers into its spell. A colorful array of delightfully nasty, dirty and chaotic characters awaits you upon your first watch, and while each person has their own story, characters are inexplicably linked in the most peculiar of circumstances. The highly anticipated psychological thriller is scheduled to be released on Netflix later this year. Collett has been acting on film and stage for over 15 years and is also a trained stunt professional. His appearances in television include the HBO dramas "Watchmen" and "Hung," and His film credits include Stay at Condor Beach, the action-thriller Military State, and the faith-based film Inheritance, starring alongside legendary actor Robert Miano. Jason also played the lead role of Jamie Nabozny in the documentary "Bullied: A Student, A School, and a Case That Made History" for the Southern Poverty Law Center's Teaching Tolerance program. Jason has studied under some of the most influential teachers in Hollywood, including Alice Carter, Joseph Pearlman, Robert D'Avanzo, and most recently, famed New York acting teacher Terry Knickerbocker. Collett also has extensive stunt experience and his training has helped him not only in the acting industry, but also in his charity work; he frequently does character appearances to help bring some simple joy to the children who need it most. When Collett is not busy on set, he enjoys ultimate sports including rock climbing, jet skiing, playing ultimate frisbee, sky diving, and ATVs. He also enjoys painting and building projects. An avid traveler as well, Collett has recently traveled to such exotic locations as the black sand beaches of Positano, Italy and backpacked through the Incan jungles of Peru on his way to Machu Picchu. Collett resides in Atlanta, GA.
