JASON CROOT

I’m Jason Croot—actor, filmmaker, and author of My Ego Screwed My Acting Career and Bradford, Eh?

Writing a bio is tricky. Say too much, and you sound full of yourself. Say too little, and it sounds like you are too blasé. So here goes.

I’m a working-class lad from Bradford, Yorkshire. I didn’t do great at school, my love life was a rollercoaster, and I struggled in most jobs. Then I found acting—and it changed everything.

Looking back, with the beauty of hindsight, maybe I’d have done a few things differently. But that’s life.

I can see where I messed up and it’s many of my mess ups you’ll read in my first book, My Ego Screwed My Acting Career.

I enjoyed writing so much that I gave it another go—this time capturing the journey of growing up in Bradford from the ’70s to the ’90s. Bradford, Eh? is a mix of memory, grit, and cultural history and full of the kind of details you only know if you lived through it.

Not sure any of my old teachers would’ve predicted my path—but then again, neither would I.

If you fancy a read, I’d love you to check out my work.
