Jason Tam

Jason grew up in the Hawaiian islands where he started acting at the age of 9. He played soccer, basketball, volleyball, piano and enjoyed hiking, surfing and out rigger canoe paddling but nothing thrilled him more than being on stage. By the time Jason graduated from high school he had already established an impressive resume full of local shows as well as the Broadway and National Touring Companies of Les Miserables. But feeling like there was much left to learn, he decided to study acting at NYU Tisch School of the Arts. After graduating and receiving his BFA with honors, an ironic twist of fate brought Jason back home to Hawaii when he booked the role of Kurt "Shoe" Shoemaker on the TV series "Beyond the Break" on The-N. After his brief return to the islands he was beckoned back to NY to originate the role of Paul in the Broadway revival of A Chorus Line. He's now psyched and honored to be a part of Llanview, playing Markko Rivera on "One Life to Live".
