Jason Hervey was born on April 6, 1972, in Los Angeles, California, to Alan Hervey, a retail sales manager, and Marsha Hervey, a talent agent. He has one sibling, a brother named Scott Hervey. Jason began his acting career at just four years old, appearing in over 250 commercials for prominent American brands. His commercial success led to roles in notable television shows and cameo appearances in several films, including Back to School, Pee-wee’s Big Adventure, Back to the Future, Police Academy 2, Meatballs Part II, Tim Burton’s Frankenweenie, and The Monster Squad.
Jason’s television career gained momentum with his appearance in two seasons of the sitcom Diff’rent Strokes. His breakthrough came when he was cast as Wayne Arnold, the older brother of Kevin Arnold, in the critically acclaimed television series The Wonder Years. This role became his most recognized work and earned him nominations for multiple Young Artist Awards.
By age 17, Jason had already moved behind the camera, creating, producing, and starring in 26 episodes of the television series Wide World of Kids.
