Jason Lewis Biography
Born on June 25, 1971, Jason Lewis was raised by parents Gregory and Nancy, in Newport Beach, California, along with his older brother Sean and his two sisters, Kate and Nicole. While growing up in California was great, Jason was determined to make something of himself and began his mission to get out of Cali early on in life.
As a teenager, while Jason Lewis attended Los Alamitos high school, he worked in both plumbing and as a waiter until he managed to save up enough money to move to Paris in June 1993, where he was told that opportunity awaits him by a model scout.
Jason Lewis models for Guess?
After a few months spent doing runway work in Paris, Jason decided that there would be even more opportunities in Milan and took off for Italy.
Thanks to his square jaw and flawless physique, by late 1993, Jason managed to land a Guess? campaign, and life was smooth sailing for him immediately after that. Campaigns came pouring in and he was in high demand.
Jason did work for Tommy Hilfiger, Valentino, Byblos and Ray Ban – and that was just the photo spreads. Jason also did plenty of runway work in both Milan and New York, and his face became one of the most famous male model faces to grace the runways and magazine covers worldwide.

By 1996, Jason was recognized for his work as a model, as he was nominated for Male Model of the Year by VH1. Unfortunately, Jason did not take home the award.
But Jason Lewis had bigger plans than just modeling; he wanted to get into acting. At first, there were plenty of hurdles to climb, considering he was not only a model to start, but he was so good-looking, it was difficult for producers to take him seriously as an actor.
But Jason persevered and, by 1997, he landed a recurring role on the hit TV series, Beverly Hills: 90210, playing a character who was dating Valerie (Tiffani Theissen). To perfect his acting craft, Jason opted to work with 3 different acting coaches because he wanted to eventually take his acting to the big screen.

While bit parts in film continued to follow with a role in 2004’s The Vision and the 2005 Adrien Brody film The Jacket, Jason returned to television with a recurring role in the WB’s Charmed in 2005.
