Jason Wiles: Playing the glory-hungry �Bosco,� Jason Wiles relishes the role of a hot-headed New York cop on �Third Watch.� �Bosco�s attitude gets him in trouble,� says Wiles. �But he�s the guy you�d want there in a crisis because he gets the job done.� He adds that he sees a little Bosco in himself as well: �I�m generally very laid back, but when I�m pushed, it comes out.�
Wiles, who is from Lenexa, Kansas, says he always wanted to be an actor and got his start as an extra and stand-in. At 19, after playing a non-speaking part in the Paul Newman-Joanne Woodward film �Mr. and Mrs. Bridge,� Wiles moved to Los Angeles to pursue acting full time. After a year of struggling, he landed some commercial work and made his television acting debut in a role on an After-School Special, �Big Boys Don�t Cry.�
Wiles has appeared in the films �Higher Learning,� for director John Singleton, as well as Robert Rodriguez� �Road Racers.� He was also seen in the feature �Kicking and Screaming.�
On television, he guest-starred in �Beverly Hills, 90210� and was a series regular on �To Have and to Hold,� and starred in numerous television movies.
Wiles and his wife reside in Los Angeles with their daughter. His birthday is April 25 |
