Jason Lee

Before pursuing acting, Jason Lee was a professional skateboarder in the 1980s and 1990s. The well-respected actor is a close friend of Tony Hawk, but most fans of his later work know little of the actor’s ability in skateboarding. Having a great degree of respect in the skateboarding scene also, the 51-year-old actor is the co-founder of Stereo Skateboards, whom he founded alongside fellow skateboarder Chris Pastras in 1992.

Having played the titular character Earl Hickey in the 2005 television comedy series My Name Is Earl, he gained widespread fame which led to his subsequent nomination and winning the 2005 Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy TV Series. Little does the actor know, that this would be a feat he would repeat a year later due to his role of Dwight Hendricks in Memphis Beat.
