 Jason Mewes mini-bio: Jason Edward Mewes is an American television and film actor best known for playing the role of foul-mouthed drug dealer “Jay”, the vocal half of Jay and Silent Bob, the recurring duo from the films of Kevin Smith, who plays Silent Bob. Mewes currently lives with Smith and his family in their Hollywood Hills home. Jason Mewes was born to a heroin-addicted mother and an unknown father in Highlands, New Jersey, and was raised by his aunt through most of his childhood while his mother spent time in jail. After starring in Clerks, the characters of "Jay and Silent Bob" (Mewes and Smith) cropped up again in four more films directed by the talented Smith.....the tepidly received Mallrats (1995), was followed by more street wisdom in the scintillating romantic comedy Chasing Amy (1997), they tackled theological issues in the quirky religious comedy Dogma (1999) and then took on Hollywood, in the road trip epic Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (2001). Their characters also made a cameo appearance in Scream 3 (2000). Mewes has since kicked on to appearing in other non-Smith projects including High Times Potluck (2002), _Rush (2002)_ and _My Big Fat Independant Movie (2004)_ , however he is currently involved in several new Kevin Smith film projects including _Passion of the Clerks, The (2005)_ and _Green Hornet, The (2005)_ .
