Jason Martorino

Jason began pursuing performance seriously at the age of 16, having been inspired by his drama teacher in high school, himself a veteran of film and theatre work. Following that, Jason attended theatre school at York University in his native Toronto, but soon transferred into the opera performance program at Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo Ontario, combining his passions for acting and music. During his 5 years of training in theatre and music there, Jason discovered a penchant for singing and acting in both lead and character roles, by performing with local stage companies, and eventually making his way into his first film. The latter, his first collaboration with writer/director/producer Lyndon Horsfall, and was to prove the inception of an ongoing creative relationship.
