IMDbProStarmeterSee rank
Jason Wayne Schaver was born in Clinton, IA on August 3rd, 1977. He was pretty small for his age and was also very shy. He excelled in baseball and usually started at second base and made most of the local traveling All Star teams in Little League. In the summer he would often be found working on his grandmother's farm doing all sorts of chores. In his mid 20's he started writing screenplays (what would later become "The Truth About Average Guys" and "S.O.L.")

In 2008 he shot his first feature, "The Truth About Average Guys", with friend Ken Gayton. It went on to secure a distribution deal and win numerous awards at film festivals across the country. That gave Jason the confidence to shoot his 2nd film, "S.O.L.", which also won a couple awards and received critical praise as well. He hopes that his 3rd feature film, "Wingmen Incorporated", will put him on the map and help get him smaller roles in bigger budgeted comedies while he continues to make a name for himself in the low/no budget comedy genre.

    • Quotes
      [When asked "Are you like the character you played in "The Truth About Average Guys"?] I get asked this a lot (mainly from women I'm interested in dating). "Troy" is me if I drank a lot. He's not a bad guy, but he has no tact whatsoever. I am probably more like "Jason" than I am "Troy," but I didn't think I had the chops to play "Jason" so I decided to play "Troy" at the last minute.
