Well, my only relationship is being so touched by the humanity of the lonesome juror played by Mr Jurman on Law and Order, I had to look him up.

All I can say is may his memory be a blessing.

I did not know Jason well, but i was heartbroken to hear of his loss.
I work in casting in NYC and I always looked forward to Jason coming in for something because he was so good and so much fun to act with. Such a dear, sweet TALENTED kid of whom I knew that i would someday be able to say "i knew him when". He was a special and gifted actor and seemed a special person too. I will miss seeing him and am sending condolences to his family and all those who knew and loved him.

Jason will always be remembered by his "Oliver!" Family as a kind soul, charismatic friend, and a bright light. He was always interested in other people, and after that tour was over, whenever I saw him, his grin was infectious and genuine. Deeply saddened by his passing. Thinking of his family and those close to him. XO
