JASON MEWES as NATE - New Jersey born and bred actor, who burst onto cinema screens in 1994, playing the grass smoking, fast talking, foul mouthed and over-sexed, but very likable, "Jay" in Kevin Smith's hilarious low budget hit CLERKS (1994). The off beat & philosophical drug dealing 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). And after various roles in many other features Mewes starred in the sequel to Smith's break out movie Clerks  in CLERKS 2 (2006). More recently he starred alongside Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks in ZACK AND MIRI MAKE A PORNO (2008). Jason now steps out of the mold that made him and slips into the timid shoes of office drone-turned-hero, Nate in SHOOT THE HERO!
