Default Discussion #2 Jason's Adamance Out of the Limelight

What of Jason's adamance to remain OUT OF the limelight? He mentioned in an interview that he's worked with A-list movie stars that get the girl in the end and how he doesn't want to be that guy because the stars themselves aren't left alone. They're public figures that can't go anywhere without being hounded. For Jason, he ran ride the tube and no one knows who he is. Do you think this helps or hurts his career? Do you think he can continue to get the big roles and remain anonymous in public? Or is it the way he conducts himself, the fact that he doesn't seek out the media, doesn't live in Hollywood that allows him to take on major roles yet continue to live a docile life?

I think Jason likes to have a peaceful life as an actor. I wouldn't say that not being out in the open as some actors are wouldn't hurt his career. He has done so many films and television shows in his lifetime already in which make him a pretty popular guy. He just wants to most likely live a life of what he loves to do which is acting, not seeking out the media to have his name be out in the open.

I agree. I can't blame him for not wanting to be stalked by the paparazzi all the time, look what this has done to some of our more notable people in the spotlight, Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, Lindsay Logan, Anna-Nicole Smith and Owen Wilson are all good examples. I think preserving his home life and living a normal life is a big priority of his. That's something I really admire about him. I think he's really a down to earth kind of guy who doesn't want people to be admiring him all the time just because he's a celebrity, he doesn't need that kind of attention. A good home life is more important to him. More power!

The way I see it, actors like him and Alan Rickman view what they do as a JOB and nothing more. They don't take advantage of the implied power that they have, they have no desire to to revel in the flashbulbs of the paparazzi. It's a job that they happen to be good at and that's it. I do think he wants to live a normal life and just do his job when he has to. Obviously it hasn't hurt him careerwise, I just think it makes him more of a commendable person for it. He can be a good actor, get good roles, roles that he actually wants to play, without shilling for the camera.

I think Jason is reasonable for wanting to remain out of the limelight. Especially with the way things are today with celebrities and paparazzi getting very dangerous and crossing boundaries that shouldn't be approached, I can't blame Jason for steering clear of such things. And I don't believe it has hurt his career in the least. He still lands himself some amazing roles and has had a very successful career, dabbling in movies, television, theater, and even lending his voice for video games! For me, Jason can stay out of the limelight as much as he wants as long as he keeps taking on fun projects and portraying fascinating characters.

I totally agree with you there, Tiff! Jason doesn't need all of that negative attention to make him a "popular" actor. He's actually quite a guy, seeming none of that matters to him. He just does what he loves to do in acting and is a great sucess in anything he does.

He has? I didn't know that! What video games has he lent his voice in? *Is curious*

He's given his voice for the video games 'Beneath a Steel Sky' and also Spartan: Total Warrior where he was the voice of Sejanus. He's also given his voice for an animated series "Avatar: The Last Airbender" which many people seem to be quite familiar with! So he's dabbled in a little of everything and had great success without flaunting his accomplishments and/or flaws for all to see!

Ooh! I haven't played any of those games before. I'll have to check into them sometime.

I've seen heard Jason's voice while watching Avatar a few times. I'm totally addicted to that show.
