Supporting Actor of the Week

Jason Lee



Made famous by his work with Kevin Smith on Mallrats and Chasing Amy (although not as famous as Ben Affleck who showed up in both of those Jason Lee has moved on to many other roles that utilize his comic power. I was a big fan of Kissing a Fool (although most people couldn’t get past David Schwimmer) and I even liked Stealing Harvard (once again his co-actor ruined its popularity, Tom Green). His movie with Julia Stiles and Selma Blair wasn’t amazing (A Guy Thing), but his dramatic turns were. He played more serious characters in Dreamcatcher, Mumford, Vanilla Sky, and Almost Famous and it worked. For those of you who are hard core followers of the ViewAskew movies you might have seen Drawing Flies which is a black and white movie of a gang who go to find Bigfoot. Jason Lee was even good in that, much better than Jason Mewes who wasn't playing Jay. Ultimately, few things on this planet are funnier than Jason Lee yelling, so I recommend Chasing Amy this week, for the hilarious sketch scene.
