London Seems to Be in the Perfect Spot

London as "Pink"
Jason London was never handed anything in his life. Born in 1972 in San Diego, California. His mother held jobs as a waitress and his father was a sheet metal worker. London’s parents divorced very early in London's life and he spent most of his earliest years in Oklahoma, just across the state line from Tuttle and DeSoto, Texas. London was raised by his mother Debbie. Jason London’s identical twin brother, Jeremy is also a well known actor.

Being cast as the hyper-eccentric neurotic talk radio show host “Kurt Buzlerd,” in the upcoming feature film, “Roswell FM,” may well offer veteran actor Jason London his greatest role opportunity since he played Randall "Pink" Floyd in director Richard Linklater's coming of age cult film “Dazed and Confused” back in 1993. "Dazed and Confused" is found on many lists identifying the best cult films of all time. Perhaps the film makes those lists because it served as an amazing proving ground for many future stars including London, Ben Affleck, Matthew McConaughey, and Parker Posey.
London's career continued to bear fruit after his role in "Dazed and Confused." In 1996 Jason was chosen by People Magazine as: "One of the 50 Most Beautiful People in the World." It was a label that could not help but draw attention to him. London has never wanted for work since his role as Randall “Pink” Floyd in 1993. His list of credits is impressive. He starred in the title role of  "Jason in the 2000 NBC miniseries “Jason and the Argonauts.”
He also starred in “Poor White Trash” playing the seedy role of Brian Ross a slimy ladies-man.More recently, Jason London portrayed Mark, the local newspaper editor, in the 2010 Hallmark Channel television movie, “The Wishing Well,” which also starred Jordan Ladd and Ernest Borgnine.
The Roswell FM script appears to create the ideal setting for Jason London's wide range of talents. He should absolutely thrive in this role. The character of talk show host Kurt Buzlerd requires a fair amount of eccentricity, quirkiness, neursis, and unpredictability. And all of these attributes are packaged within a personality that, unlike many of London’s previous character roles, is nearly impossible to dislike. London joins fellow cast members: Brendan Fehr (TV Series - Bones), Mirelly Taylor (TV Series - Lost), Brian Tee (The Fast and the Furious: 3), Don Stark (TV Series - That 70’s Show), Kevin Farley (An American Carol), and Hugh Elliot (Running Girl) on the set of Roswell FM today, July 25th.
