Jason Butler Harner Facts
- His middle name Butler is the maiden name of his mother.
- He was brought up in Virginia.
- Harner had worked as an usher at a theatre in the past.
- He had always known that he was happy when acting. He was aware of being sensitive and perceptive as a kid. However, it was only after speaking to an audience of thousands as Eugene Morris Jerome when he was 20 in Brighton Beach Memoirs in Richmond, VA, and finding them laugh and then become silent with him, that he realized he was meant to do it often.
- He has disclosed that when he essayed Tom in The Glass Menagerie, he had an acting experience that seemed like channeling something, which had been a spiritual moment for him after which he had been even more thrilled and motivated to become a good actor.
- Harner has relished a Joe Allen’s burger or La Scala salad just before a play, with a Bar Centrale or Glasshouse Tavern bourbon after it.
- Jason has noticed that when he has played in a high-profile project like Homeland or Non-Stop, people have got a slightly confused look in their eyes when they have walked past him having almost recognized him but not having figured out from where. He had an amusing time when he had been in London around one Christmas when a friendly man had approached him and asked if he had played in Homeland, which had just aired. He had admired his acting and Jason had been surprised at him recognizing him as he was sporting a whole beard and longer hair at the time, while he had portrayed a clean-shaven federal man in the series.
- He has owned a rescue dog named Toupee who has been the apple of his eye.
