Jason Gedrick (b. 7 February 1965 ) is a Contemporary American Actor best known for his work on the television series '' Murder One '' and '' Boomtown ''. Gedrick began his career as an Extra in films such as '' Bad Boys '' ( 1983 ) and '' Risky Business '' (1983). After roles in '' Iron Eagle '' ( 1986 ), '' Born On The Fourth Of July '' ( 1989 ) and '' Backdraft '' (1991), Gedrick appeared in television series such as '' Class Of '96 '' ( 1993 ) and ''Sweet Justice'' ( 1994 ). In ( 1994 ) Gedrick starred in the film '' The Force '' with Yasmine Bleeth and Kim Delaney . Gedrick's big break was in Steven Bochco 's innovative 1995 series '' Murder One ''. The series followed the trial of Gedrick's character, bad-boy actor Neil Avedon, alleged to have murdered a 15-year-old girl. The series, which also starred talent such as Daniel Benzali , Patricia Clarkson , Mary McCormack , Dylan Baker and Stanley Tucci was a runaway success. Due to this, a second season was commissioned. Due to network concerns, the new season featured several small cases rather than one big one. Anthony LaPaglia stepped in to replace the cast such as Benzali, Tucci and Gedrick, who had left, and the series was canceleld midway through its second season. Gedrick next took roles in television series such as '' EZ Streets '' ( 1996 ), '' Falcone '' ( 2000 ) and ''The Beast'' ( 2001 ). None of them were successes, however. In 1999 , he guest starred on '' Ally McBeal '' as the " Hot Car Wash guy". Gedrick returned to television screens as Tom Turcotte in 2002 's '' Boomtown ''. The innovative series, which also starred Donnie Wahlberg and Neal McDonough was a moderate success, but ratings plummeted - particularly after the second season suffered a format change, and ''Boomtown'' was cancelled. In 2003 , Gedrick played Andrew Luster , the infamous Rapist in a Lifetime movie based on his trial, ''A Date with Darkness''. Gedrick is part of the cast of the 2006 NBC Television Series '' Windfall '' also starring Luke Perry and Gedrick's former ''Boomtown'' alumni, Lana Parrilla . EXTERNAL LINK |
