It's not a soda...it's a squeeze it.

About Me

My name is Jason Kleeberg. I'm a screenwriter and actor from Stockton, CA. I was born in New Jersey and spent most of my school days in Tracy, CA, where I drew, played sports, and did the only thing that there is to do in Tracy...hang out at the mall.

- if you want to know something, ask me! I'm not on that much, but if you catch me, fire away. I'm always up for new jobs and opportunities in the film business, so if you need something written or need an actor, let me know.

My Interests

* I've always wanted to be a getaway driver. It's my dream job (next to being in film, of course
* I have a large collection of DVD's, which was once at over 1000 movies
* I love independent and foreign films
* I work at Best Buy, which has it's ups and downs, but I've met most of my closest friends there
* I have a huge collection of music, most of it being underground hip hop - you'd be amazed at my rap knowledge, and although I love the beats, I don't live the life
* I could not live without my iPod
* I love early 90's TV - Full House, 21 Jump Street, and old Nick shows like Doug, Legends of the Hidden Temple, and the Adventures of Pete & Pete
* I love football and baseball, and follow the Pittsburgh Steelers and Pittsburgh Pirates
* My favorite movie of all time is Pulp Fiction
* I have written a few films and been in a few things - my filmography is to the right
* I used to draw a lot, and have drawn my own comic book titled "Brass Tacks"
* I love brain teasers
* I'd rather kick back at home than be at a club
* I'm a 24 fanatic. I'd love to be on the show or just meet Keifer Sutherland. Jack Bauer is a beast.
