Jason has worked as an actor consistently over the past 8 years, beginning with a bit part on the critically-acclaimed TANGLE alongside Lincoln Younes. Since, he’s appeared in the MIFF funded (and opening night) film THE DEATH AND LIFE OF OTTO BLOOM, starring Xavier Samuel (of TWILIGHT fame) and produced by Oscar winner Melanie Coombs. This led to Jason’s casting in NEWTON’S LAW, working alongside Claudia Karvan and in comedy COREY WHITE’S ROADMAP TO PARADISE— both which aired on the ABC (For a more extensive CV, visit www.imdb.me/jasonagius).

Between his gigs and auditions, Jason has coached actors of all ages, teaching a practical approach to learning scenes and helps to provide them with the necessary tools (the business side to acting) to become working actors.

Jason is also currently developing a feature film screenplay with an AFI award winning producer/director.

Away from the industry, Jason enjoys eating, watching James Bond films, and keeping up to date with foreign affairs.
