Jason B. Schmidt is a NYC-based actor, voice over talent, and half of this musical comedy sensation (Recurring Role – “Jasodiva.”) Jason holds a BFA in Acting from Adelphi University and has traveled the US starring in numerous productions. He most recently spent the summer playing Bea Arthur inThank You For Being a Friend: The Musical at The Kraine Theater and prior to that was seen inThe Gayest Christmas Pageant Ever! at Off-Broadway’s The Actors Playhouse and the 30th Anniversary National Tour of Singin’ in the Rain, to name a few. Jason’s voice over talents are featured inThe Red Dead Redemption by Rockstar Games. His parody writing career began when he was a small Southern child who longed to be a well-spoken snooty Frenchman. At the age of ten he eradicated his drawl and began the longest running parody of all, playing an un-Southern gentleman. Check out Jason’s website for more info!
