You can't make a lifelong career out of pro skateboarding and Jason wanted to leave the sport while at the top of his game. So, after appearing in Video Days and the Sonic Youth video, he decided a good career to fall back on would be movie acting. Yeah, he himself admits that was pretty naive.
Yet by 1995 he landed the part of Brodie Bruce, one of the two leads in Kevin Smith's movie Mallrats.
Here's a scene that clearly shows why Rene (Shannen Doherty) could, and should, find a better boyfriend than Brodie:
And a very fun video featuring Jay & Silent Bob dancing to the song "Build Me Up, Buttercup":
There are scenes from the movie in this, but they don't start until well over a minute into the video.
I didn't love the movie, but I do think Jason Lee is awesome in it.
Enjoy!
Janet
