Jason Michael Gedrick (born February 7, 1965) is an American former actor best known for his work on the television series Murder One and Boomtown , and the motion picture Iron Eagle as Doug Masters.
Gedrick was born Jason Gedroic in Chicago, Illinois, and is of Polish descent. He changed his surname to the homonymous "Gedrick" and began his career as an extra in films such as Bad Boys (1983) and Risky Business (1983).
He had roles in The Heavenly Kid (1985), Iron Eagle (1986), and Promised Land (1987) with director Michael Hoffman, Iron Eagle II (1988 in an uncredited role for the first few minutes of the movie), Born on the Fourth of July (1989), the cult classic Rooftops (1989), Backdraft (1991), and Crossing the Bridge (1992). Gedrick then 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. He starred in the first season of Steven Bochco's 1995 television series Murder One , which followed the trial of Gedrick's character, bad-boy actor Neil Avedon. His next major project was the three-hour TV film The Third Twin (1997), a thriller based on the best-selling 1996 novel by the British writer Ken Follett.
Gedrick next took roles in television series such as EZ Streets (1996), Falcone (2000), and The Beast (2001), none of which were major successes.

In 2003, Gedrick played Andrew Luster, the infamous rapist in a Lifetime movie based on his trial, A Date with Darkness. Gedrick was part of the cast of the 2006 NBC television series Windfall , also starring Luke Perry and Gedrick's former Boomtown alumnus, Lana Parrilla.

In late 2012, Gedrick appeared on an episode of NBC's Grimm . In 2015, he had a season-long arc as serial killer Raynard Waits in the Amazon Prime original television series Bosch , along with a recurring role as Liam in The CW's 2012 series Beauty & the Beast .
