Born in 1970, Jason Michael Lee is a multi-talented person. He was a professional skateboarder from the 1980s to the 1990s, a photographer in the 2000s, and an actor from 1991. Well-known for his 360 flips, Jason joined his fellow skater to launch ‘Stereo Skateboards.’
Jason appeared in various television series such as Mi Vida Loca (1993), Chasing Amy (1997), Heartbreakers (2001), Jersey Girl (2004), Underdog (2007), We Bare Bears: The Movie (2020), and more. He will produce, write, and star in an upcoming television series, ‘Diamond.’
Jason became a full-time actor after leaving professional skateboarding. However, the initial years were difficult because he got supporting roles in 1991. Heartbreakers (2001), an American romantic comedy film, helped him land the leading roles in his further films.

Jason’s Previous Relationships
Jason was a professional skateboarder when Carmen Llywelyn met him in 1994. The following year, Boshi Elfman, an American actor, presided over their wedding. They quickly fell in love before marrying but started facing troubles when Jason introduced her to Scientology after their marriage.
According to Carmen’s lengthy essay, Jason would keep talking about Scientology as a lifestyle for lucky people rather than a religion and would like to see her on that path, too. Thus, they divorced in 2001, and Carmen blamed Scientology for that.
Carmen claimed she could not have a personal life with Jason due to Scientology. Her tweet suggested that she wanted some space with her husband.
Later, Carmen stated Hollywood or her career had nothing to do with their separation. They lived together in Southern California as of March 2001 before getting divorced. Carmen’s essay was seen as an attempt to draw the media’s attention. Thus, the Church dismissed her article.
Ironically, Jason revealed that he was no longer a Scientologist in 2016. He was in a relationship with Beth Jean Riesgraf from 2001 to 2007. They enjoyed their engagement and marriage in that period. Their only son, Pilot Inspektor, was born in 2003 when Beth was twenty-seven.
Jason named his son after an American Indie rock band’s (Grandaddy) song ‘He’s Simple, He’s Dumb, He’s the Pilot.’ The couple appeared together at the 13th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards in 2007.
Beth and Jason separated in September 2007. Jason moved on with Ceren Alkaç, and Beth was rumored to be in a relationship with Alan Smyth after their public appearance at the 38th Annual Saturn Awards in California in July 2012.
Reportedly, Beth met Alan on the set of an American drama series, Leverage, where he played a villain. Further, they started dating in 2009 and moved in together.
Beth is an American television director and actress. She is a Minnesota native born in 1978 and is known for her appearance in the television series Leverage (2008–2012).
