Jason

Jason Behr was born in Minneapolis Minnesota, December 30, 1973. He migrated all over, while he was very young, living anywhere from Arizona to Califonia. After his parents split he returned to Richfield, near Minnesota with his mother and three brothers.

Jason attended high school and after graduating he made a bold move and decided to pursue a career in the acting world, by moving to Hollywood. Perhaps one of Jason's strengths was his persistance and passion that propelled him from the very beginning. He attended many auditons and TV roles in "Profiler" (1996), "Cracker" (1997), "Push" (1998) and guest starred on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Dawson's Creek" as the bad-boy "Chris Wolfe".

All of Behr's hard work paid off when he was cast as the lead in fresh sci-fi drama "Roswell". Jason plays "Max Evans" a tortured, brooding romantic who bears the weight of two worlds on his shoulders - he's an alien. "Max" and 3 others were left on Earth as the only survivors of the famed "Roswell Incident" of 1947 in Roswell, New Mexico. After breaking free of incubation pods decades later, Max enters into a world of danger where he learns to keep his origins secret. Jason's moving portrayal of "Max" instantly captured fans' hearts. He gives the character dimension and is magical to watch. Many fans have said that is in fact the amazing chemistry seen between Jason and his costar Shiri Appleby that initially attracted them to the show. Since then Jason Behr has shone even more in his solo performances as well as working with the ensemble cast.

Jason has chosen film roles very carefully. This is part of the Behr charm. Instead of falling to the allure of pop-movie culture he has decided to take it slow and wait for the excellent scripts to come along. While he has off-time from "Roswell" he enjoys sports and spending quality time with his friends, his Akita and his girlfriend and costar Katherine Heigl. Jason's past film projects include "Rites of Passage" (1999) and "The Shipping News" (2001).
