Biography
I am Jason Staines and have been enjoying my time as a supporting artist (SA) since 2021. I was born in Barking, Essex and moved to Edinburgh when I was 20 Years old. I am a Director of my own roofing company, alongside my business partner. I am married and have two grown up daughters. Being self-employed allows me to be fully flexibility around my SA work.
In 2010 I joined the Edinburgh Kevock choir as a first tenor and have enjoyed performing with them in their annual concerts and in some amazing venues in and around Edinburgh, raising money for worthwhile charities. When I am not up on roofs or singing with the choir I attend weekly Pilates classes, enjoy keeping fit and socialising with friends and family.
Over the next few years, I would love to gradually spend less time on roofs and more time acting. I have thoroughly enjoyed every production I’ve been lucky to be in whether it be a game show, a film, a drama or a soap. I’ve been an SA in Traitors, Damaged, Murder is Easy, Outlander, The Crown, Two Doors Down and River City to name but a few. Some of the recent productions I have been involved in are Department Q, Lockerbie, Midwinter Break and The Primrose Railway Children. Two of my main highlights were featured roles in Lockerbie and Midwinter Break.
I am very excited to continue my role as an SA and am very much looking forward to having the opportunity to appear in many more productions, hopefully with more featured roles.
Thank you to the production teams who have given me opportunities in the past and thank you in advance to those who will chose me for their next production.
