Jason Paul London (born November 7, 1972) is an American actor, known for his roles as Randall "Pink" Floyd in director Richard Linklater's film Dazed and Confused (1993), Jesse in The Rage: Carrie 2 (1999), and Rick Rambis in Out Cold (2001).
London was born in San Diego, California, the son of Debbie (née Osborn), a waitress, and Frank London, a sheet metal worker. He was raised mainly in DeSoto, Texas. After having divorced Jason's father, his mother moved the family 13 times in six years. His identical twin brother, Jeremy, is younger by 27 minutes and is also an actor, working mostly in television. [1] The two have acted alongside each other only once – in the February 3, 2003, episode of the WB's 7th Heaven , entitled "Smoking."
The twin boys had a younger sister, Dedra, who was also an actor. Dedra London died in a car accident in 1992 at the age of 16. [2]
London began his career in his junior year of high school. His brother, Jeremy, wanted to audition for the movie The Man in the Moon (1991). London gave his brother a ride to the audition and tried for the part as well. He resulted in getting the part and his brother was his stunt double. [3]
London later received what would become his most popular role as Randall “Pink” Floyd in the movie Dazed and Confused (1993).
London has enjoyed success starring mostly as a rebellious, edgy young addict in feature films such as Broken Vessels (1998) and $pent (2000). He starred as Jason in the NBC miniseries Jason and the Argonauts (2000). He also starred in Poor White Trash (2000) playing sleazy ladies' man Brian Ross.
London portrayed Mark, the local newspaper editor, in the Hallmark Channel television movie, The Wishing Well (2010), which also starred Jordan Ladd and Ernest Borgnine.
In addition to his film and TV work, London also appeared in Aerosmith's 1993 video "Amazing" with Alicia Silverstone.
In November 2010, London became engaged to actress Sofia Karstens. They married on July 16, 2011 at the home of his wife's parents in North Hero, Vermont. [4]
London was arrested in 2013 for punching a bouncer, and again in 2021 for public intoxication. [5]
