A former professional skateboarder, Lee is the co-founder and co-owner of Stereo Skateboards, founding the company in 1992 with fellow skateboarder Chris "Dune" Pastras. [1] Since 1992, Stereo manufactures and distributes skateboard decks, equipment and apparel, as well as producing skate videos. [1]

Early life

Lee was born in Santa Ana, California, on April 25, 1970. [2] His father, Greg Lee, was a car dealership manager and his mother, Carol Lee, a homemaker. [3] [4] He has an older brother, James (b. 1968). Lee was raised in Huntington Beach and attended Ocean View High School. [5] A hyperactive and energetic child, Lee took up skateboarding after his mother bought him a skateboard with the hope that he would use it to burn off excessive energy.[ citation needed ] Hooked on the art of skateboarding, Lee spent the majority of his time perfecting his craft, that would eventually lead to him dropping out of Ocean View High School so he could turn pro. [6]

Career

Skateboarding

Lee was a professional skateboarder in the late 1980s and early 1990s. In 1992, he founded Stereo Sound Agency, known as Stereo Skateboards, with fellow skater Chris "Dune" Pastras. In 2003, after it had been defunct for a few years, the pair successfully revived the company. [7] [8] As of October 2013, Lee and Pastras remained on the professional "Classics" team roster. [9]

Lee was featured in the skateboarding promotional video, Video Days (1991), filmed for the skateboarding company Blind Skateboards. [10] In 2004, Lee's skateboarding was featured in Way Out East!, a film produced by Stereo Skateboards. [11] [12]

In August 2012, Lee was also featured in a brief video on the skateboard website The Berrics entitled "Jason Lee decided to come to the park." [13]

In August 2012, Lee participated in the ninth annual Stand-Up for Skateparks Event, which he chaired with Tony Hawk. [14] The event is held annually by the Tony Hawk Charitable Foundation and seeks to "help create free, quality public skateparks for youth in low-income communities." [15]

In October that same year, a video was released by the Keep A Breast Foundation, featuring various skateboarding identities, including Lee, together with Pastras. The video, contributing to the Foundation's aim to prevent and raise awareness of breast cancer, promotes the "I Love Boobies" bracelet. It also features Clint Peterson (Stereo) and Giovanni Reda (WESC), who are both teammates of Lee. [16]

Lee later worked with Tony Hawk when he lent his voice and likeness to Tony Hawk's Project 8 to become a playable character. [17] Lee then voiced Coach Frank, a character created during the development of Stereo, in video game Skate 3 . [18] [19]

Professional skateboarder and owner of the Girl and Lakai Limited Footwear skateboard brands Mike Carroll [20] has cited Lee as one of his skating influences. [21]

Lee has been particularly cited for his 360 flips, which even the trick's inventor, Rodney Mullen, credits him with stylizing and popularizing. [22] [23] [24] [25] [26]

Acting

After taking some minor acting roles in 1992–1994 (including the music video for the Sonic Youth single "100%", a small part in Mi Vida Loca , and a bit part as a dance instructor on Chance and Things), Lee left professional skateboarding for a full-time acting career. [27] His first major film role was in Kevin Smith's Mallrats , which became a cult hit. [27] [28] This started a friendship that subsequently led to appearances in many of Smith's films, including Chasing Amy , Dogma , Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back , Clerks II , Cop Out , and Jay and Silent Bob Reboot . Lee won an Independent Spirit Award for his role in Chasing Amy as Banky Edwards.

Personal life

Lee married actress and photographer Carmen Llywelyn in 1995. They divorced in 2001. Llywelyn later accused Lee of alcoholism and domestic abuse [54] and claimed that his commitment to Scientology was the principal cause for their separation. [55] Llywelyn wrote that their relationship collapsed when she revealed to her talent manager and fellow Scientologist, Gay Ribisi (mother of actor Giovanni Ribisi), that she had read A Piece of Blue Sky , a book about the reality of Scientology. Two days after her conversation with Ribisi, Llywelyn received a one-paragraph "disconnection letter" from Lee and was labeled a suppressive person. [56] [57]

Following his divorce from Llywelyn, Lee became engaged to actress Beth Riesgraf. Together, they have a son, Pilot Inspektor, born in 2003. Lee states their son's name was inspired by "He's Simple, He's Dumb, He's the Pilot." by rock band Grandaddy. [58]

Lee married Turkish model Ceren Alkaç in California in July 2008. A month later, Alkaç gave birth to a daughter named Casper. [58] [59] [60] The couple had their second child, a son named Sonny, in 2012. [61] Their third child, a daughter named Alberta 'Birdy' Lee, was born in 2017. [62]

In 2016, Lee revealed he is no longer a Scientologist. [63] [64] When asked by The Guardian why he became a Scientologist he said, "Everybody wants answers, everybody wants to feel less depressed or less anxious or they want to try to understand some issue that they might have with themselves." He added: "Ultimately, it was just not for me. That's it. I wasn't really involved going back many, many years now." [65]

Lee currently resides in Los Angeles, California, with his family after living in Denton, Texas, for four years. [65] He is a 1/5th co-owner of the restaurant Barley and Board. [63] [66]
