Jason Lee's career - Radio Times, January 2006

Anyone who can make a small-town redneck loser seem cool must have something going on. So just how laid-back is Jason Lee, the star of the hit US sitcom My Name is Earl?

He was born in 1970 in the Californian resort of Huntington Beach. But instead of the surfboard, he took to the skateboard at the age of 13 and later spent seven years on the pro circuit before kinda drifting into indie movies, getting his big break in Kevin Smith's slacker classic Mallrats. More recently, he voiced the dastardly Buddy Pine/Syndrome in The Incredibles.

He's got something going on at home, too, with his two-year-old son, the wackily named Pilot Inspektor - "It's just an aesthetic choice," says Dad. Yeah, keepin' it real, dude.
