Jason Kravits
- Actor
Jason began his career in Washington, DC, at age 13, playing Lolo in
the short-lived but highly acclaimed PBS series
Powerhouse (1982). Several years
later, after graduating from the University of Maryland, he found a
home in the Washington, DC, theater community, where he became a
well-known presence at theaters such as the Round House Theater, the
Shakespeare Theater, and the Woolly Mammoth Theater Company (of which
he is still a member).
Upon moving to New York City, Jason began working with the
writer-performer collective known as Rumble in the Red Room. There,
alongside fellow writer-performer Joel Jones, he developed the material
for "Making Faces," which would eventually go on to win Best Sketch
Show at 1999's U.S. Comedy Festival in Aspen, Co.
This prompted him to move to Los Angeles, where he soon landed a
guest-star spot on David Kelley's
The Practice (1997). This role
would eventually grow and, by the beginning of the fifth season, his
character, A.D.A Richard Bay, would be a regular on the show. (The
character would eventually meet his demise in a hail of bullets on the
show's 100th episode.)
After several more busy years of television and film work, Jason would
eventually move back to New York, although he remained busy on both
coasts as both an actor and a writer. Along with continuing work in TV
and film, he has appeared on the Broadway stage in "Relatively
Speaking," "The Drowsy Chaperone," and "Sly Fox." His series of short
films about fatherhood, "Lords of the Playground," was recently in
development with CBS.
Jason Kravits is probably best known for his work on television dramas
such as "The Practice" and the
Law & Order (1990) franchises. He
has found just as much success in comedy, however, from his
award-winning original sketch show "Making Faces" to noted roles on
Everybody Loves Raymond (1996)
and
Curb Your Enthusiasm (2000).
As of fall 2011, he appeared on Broadway in "Relatively Speaking," a
night of one-act plays by _Ethan Coen,
Elaine May, and
Woody Allen.
