Jason is a British actor, a regular on screens, big and small, over thirty years. His debut job was a huge commercial campaign for Miller Lite beer UK that made his face instantly recognisable across Britain. In 1992 he landed the part of Rifleman Harris in a drama based on Bernard Cornwell’s Sharpe novels, a show that lasted five seasons and was eventually screened across the globe. Sharpe started out filming in the chaos caused by the newly broken-up Soviet Union prompting Jason to maintain a diary which has formed the basis of his Sharpe memoir, From Crimea With Love.
