He shared: "They hated it. Always found it embarrassing. You want to be introduced as yourself, and not, 'This is my friend. Oh, by the way, her dad's Lucius Malfoy.'" Jason, who has been married to Emma Hewitt for 25 years, is a proud father to Lily, 22, and Ruby, 19.

In The White Lotus's third season, he steps into the shoes of Timothy Ratliff, who travels to Thailand with his on-screen wife Victoria and their three kids, Saxon, Piper, and Lochlan.

The Ratliffs are in Thailand ostensibly for Piper to consult with a monk for her thesis, but their holiday takes a turn when Timothy learns he's under investigation by The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post for his dealings with Kenneth Nguyen and Sho-Kel.

He later finds out that the FBI has obtained evidence about Kenneth that could also incriminate him. After being overwhelmed with phone calls, Tim resorts to stealing Lorazepam from his wife Victoria in an attempt to distract himself from his mounting problems.

As he faces the possibility of jail time, viewers watch as Tim steals a gun and tries to take his own life, only to be stopped by Victoria. With just one episode left in the third season, it's still uncertain how Tim's story will conclude and whether his past will finally catch up with him.

In addition to the two roles mentioned, Jason has had a diverse career in both theatre and film, appearing in numerous TV shows, films, and stage productions.

He portrayed Georgy Zhukov in The Death of Stalin in 2017 and has featured in films such as Brotherhood, Awake, The OA and Star Trek: Discovery.
