Jason Thompson, 34, hails from Alberta, Canada, where he was discovered busing tables in a restaurant at age 18 by an agent for an international modeling agency. "He asked me if I had ever thought about modeling. I really hadn't, but I ended up moving to Milan and learning as I went," Thompson says. "But modeling was a means to get where I wanted." He landed some Gap advertisement campaigns and minor roles in movies and TV, and joined General Hospital in 2005. Thompson lives in Los Angeles, enjoys playing hockey and surfing, and co-owns two restaurants in Edmonton, Alberta.
