Jason Michael Lee is an American actor, filmmaker, photographer, and former professional skateboarder. Born on April 25, 1970, Lee began his career in the entertainment industry as a professional skateboarder in the 1980s. However, he gained prominence for his acting prowess, particularly his portrayal of Earl Hickey in the TV comedy series My Name Is Earl, a role which earned him Golden Globe nominations in 2005 and 2006. Lee diversified his acting career with roles in popular films like Mallrats (1995), Chasing Amy (1997), and Dogma (1999), among others.
