How the hell is his career at an all time high now?


It puzzles me... I first saw him on The Hogan Family/Valerie.. then hemade Teen Wolf 2 and I was sure it killed his career, then all of a sudden since 2004 or so onwards he's popping up in bigger roles and now he's a leading man or co-lead... how???? What the hell did he do to get so many gigs in the spotlight again?

he's a great actor and his personality is sooooo great and funny and i think he's super underrated, you can't judge his acting from a movie that came out like idk 30 years ago? he's now great and i hope he gets more attention i really do

Pretty much after the popularity of Arrested Development it gave him a massive career boost.

He's a good actor with nearly perfect comedic timing, he's good looking, and he was in the right place at the right time for a series of good career decisions (Juno, Arrested Development, even Horrible Bosses). The cherry on top is that he seems to be a genuinely nice guy, and actors who are easy to work with AND hot in Hollywood are going to get bigger and better jobs. He deserves it.

I just think he is great as the straight man to all the goof balls in his movies. Plus he is really cute.

He does great straight man and is sexy.

I may not know him personally but I feel that he would be someone I would totally get along with and have fun. He has great comedic timing and can be genuinely dramatic as seen in The Gift. I hope he only gets bigger and better! He deserves it!

Because since he was a teen, I wanted to make out with him something crazy! He's always been so da!n hot! It's ok I'm only a few years younger than him so it's not creepy or anything. Even when he was on Silver Spoons, people went on and on about Ricky Schroder and I was like "screw that"! I want Jason. He was cute, snarky with these beautiful devilish blue eyes and a smile like a shark. And at 47 years of age, he still looks the same... And he makes me sweat. Don't tell my bf tho, he'd flip! Hahaha

And I should add, he's extremely talented. More talented and more enthralling than Schroder ever was.

And did I mention he was hot!
