Jason Gould is an atypical person, and not because he is the son of a famous acting couple: Barbara Streisand and Elliot Gould. Jason is one of those people who are constantly searching for himself in this life.
What is it like to be the son of their well-known and wealthy parents? Everyone would envy Jason. But Gould turned out to be one of those people who do not want to live in the shadow of their parents.
Jason Gould: films and film practice
Movies featuring Gould can be watched more than once. According to critics, his play in films is so well executed that at the time of viewing it seems that this is life, not a movie.
Few people know that Jason debuted at the age of 6. He starred in a cameo role in the film "Sandbox", which, unfortunately, was not released.
After that, he did not appear on the screens for a long time. Therefore, the early photos of Jason Gould can only be found in the family archives.
And already at the age of 22, in the distant now 1988, Gould Jason starred in episodic roles in two films: in the series “Zoo in the Bronx” in the role of Harry and in the film “The Big Picture”, playing the role of a guy named Karl Manknik.
The following year, he embodied on the screen the image of Mike Cameron in the movie "Say something." In parallel, he played a role in another film - “Listen to me.”
In 1991, joint shooting by Gould and his mother followed. It was the film "Lord of the Tides", during the creation of which Barbara acted as a director and co-producer.
And in 1996 another film was released - “Secret Mission”. This picture in a sense has become decisive for the actor. After participating in the filming, Jason puts an end to the filming in the roles of a secondary nature and tries to realize himself in his own projects as a screenwriter and director.
In an interview, Gould emphasized that he does not pursue fame and does not see himself as an actor in a movie, like his Oscar-winning mother. He wants to find himself in another field, so he is constantly working on the development of his creative abilities and is looking for an interesting idea for their implementation.
Gould - screenwriter, producer, director
In 1997, Gould Jason made his first short film Inside Out, in which he tried to maximize the main essence of the plot, namely, to tell how hard it is to be a gay son with famous parents. In fact, Jason made a picture of himself. His father (Elliot Gould) and half-brother (Samuel Gould) also took part in the filming of the film. The picture did not have much success in the downhill, but it helped Jason to open up and pour out his soul that he could not do this in real life.
In 2000, his next film was released - "The Life of Men 3". This time, Gould was again a screenwriter, director, director, and also played one of the secondary roles - the guy "Iron" (this hero is present in the film "Inside Out").
