Jason Lee | BRYAN REESMAN | charismatic lead singer | Stillwater
Almost Famous?
by
American Way StaffNot anymore. Jason Lee has the best mustache on television. And
one of the funniest shows too. By Bryan Reesman
An ex-pro-skateboarder-turned-actor, Jason Lee has played the angel
Azrael in the irreverent Dogma, the charismatic lead
singer of the band Stillwater in Almost Famous, and the
voice of the sinister Syndrome in The Incredibles.
However, the talented thespian's true breakthrough role is as the
title character on the NBC series My Name Is Earl, playing
a hapless crook whose personal epiphany leads him to right all his
past wrongs, which he catalogs on "the List." These infractions
range from bullying a childhood classmate to stealing a policeman's
badge to faking his own death. Not only is Lee the star of the
show, he's also a producer. The first season hits DVD shelves on
September 19 and includes the "lost pilot"; season two premieres on
September 21. It's a genuinely charming, funny, original show that
showcases Lee's comic skills. We caught up with him to talk about
that and so much more.
