Jason Simmons, a talented Tasmanian-born actor, first gained international recognition as Logan Fowler in the globally acclaimed TV series Baywatch, which was viewed by a staggering one billion people across 142 countries. Following his three-year stint on the show, Jason decided to leave the spotlight and return to his roots, enrolling in stage school to further hone his craft under the guidance of renowned acting teacher Sanford Meisner.
Jason's diverse filmography showcases his willingness to take on challenging and controversial roles, including appearances in Greg Araki's critically acclaimed film Nowhere alongside Christina Applegate and Heather Graham, as well as the highly praised Eroica, directed by Paul Warner, and Adam Meggido's thought-provoking drama The End of the Sentence.
He has also made a name for himself on the stage, starring in productions such as Mad Cow Girl, directed by Greg Hatanaka, and Greek, directed by Australian actor and director Marcus Graham at the Power House Theatre in New Farm, Queensland.
Jason's career received a resurgence with his starring role in the campy cult classic Sharknado, which brought him back into the international spotlight. Currently, he has four movies in pre-production, showcasing his versatility as an actor.
One of his upcoming projects includes the Australian sci-fi series 3010, where he will play a futuristic super soldier. He will also be appearing in a comedy alongside British comedy legend John Cleese, as well as an Australian drama based on the true-life story of underground free-style flyer Zane Dirani. Additionally, Jason will be starring in a thriller to be shot in the state of Georgia.
Furthermore, Jason has been announced as a co-host for an Australian-produced environmental documentary about our oceans and their impact on consumers.
