Jason Christopher Marsden (born January 3, 1975 in
Providence, Rhode Island|Providence, Rhode Island,
USA) is an United States|American screen and voice
actor largely known for numerous voice roles in
animated films, as well as his role in the TV
series Eerie, Indiana. His film career began in
1985/1987. 

He is the youngest of four children (he has two
older step-brothers, Rick and Mark, and an older
step-sister, Ana). His mother's name is Linda. His
father, Myles Marsden, a choreographer, founded
the Rhode Island State Ballet. As such, as a small
child, Jason was surrounded by dancers and actors.
Friends of his parents noted how talented and
personable Jason was and suggested he get an agent
and do some acting work in commercials. Little did
they know this boost of the young man's ego would
turn into a so-far lifelong flirtation with the
small and silver screen in both the physical and
vocal capacity.

At the age of eleven, Jason had moved from Rhode
Island to California and had his first major role,
as the third child to play Alan Quartermaine Jr.
in the long running American soap opera, General
Hospital. He continued this role for two years,
which is quite a feat considering he still went to
a normal elementary school. This was followed soon
afterwards by the role of Eddie Munster in the TV
series remake of "The Munsters" titled The
Munsters Today. At the same time as doing The
Munsters Today, Jason also had his first voice
acting role in a cartoon, that of Cavin in the
Walt Disney Studios|Disney cartoon TV series The
Gummi Bears.

Jason continued with small acting and voice-acting
roles in sitcoms, cartoons, and films until 1992,
where he landed the role of Dash X in Eerie,
Indiana. This is notable because it is most often
the role that people will associate with the name
Jason Marsden. While the program only ran for 19
episodes, and Jason only appeared for 6 of them,
the program gathered a cult following and is still
enjoyed today.

Although starring in a TV film, providing voices
for cartoons, and guest-starring in sitcoms,
Jason's next memorable role was a voice-acting
one, that of Goofy|Goofy's son, Max Goof, in the
animated film A Goofy Movie (1995). A prominent
role in White Squall (1996) closely followed this,
where Jason had the opportunity of working with
the famous director Ridley Scott and actors Jeff
Bridges, Ryan Phillippe, and Ethan Embry. Another
role that made him a household name was that of
Rich Halke in Step by Step, which was from 1996
until the show's cancellation.

Since Step by Step, Jason has provided voices for
numerous animated television shows and computer
games, appeared in a straight-to-video film, been
the voice of Kovu in The Lion King II: Simba's
Pride, the voice of Haku in the American dub of
Sen to Chihiro no kamikakushi (more commonally
known as Spirited Away) (2001), starred in two TV
films, and has made guest appearances on some of
the most popular American sitcoms out there. His
most noticeable recent TV appearance is playing
the young Burt Ward/Robin in the 2003 TV Movie
Return to the Batcave: The Misadventures of Adam
and Burt.

Jason has a passion for acting and would like to
direct. He has already made his first foray into
directing, an episode of The Journey of Allen
Strange (1997). He is known for his boyish good
looks, talent for physical and vocal comedy,
multi-faceted acting skills, and lack of height
(being 5'4" tall).

In recent years he is probably best known for his
voice over work on the various DC Warner Bros
animated series such as Justice League (animated
series)|Justice League, Batman Beyond and The
Batman (TV series)|The Batman.

His best man at his wedding was his best friend
and actor, Will Friedle (most famous in recent
years for playing Terry McGinnis/Batman in Batman
Beyond). Coincidentally the two have worked
together in the series in a couple of episodes.

His hobbies are ice-skating, rollerblading,
drawing, swimming, and collecting Walt Disney
Studios|Disney videos.

Being a huge Walt Disney fan his pets are named
Aladdin, Jasmine and Lady.
