Jason Tobias is an actor known for the award winning Star Wars: Generations (2016). Having written, produced, and starred in the production, it won at Star Wars Celebration (2016), in London, U.K. Tobias has been building recognition with performances in indie films such as; 'Terrordactyl' (2016), 'Most Likely to Die' (2015), 'The Unraveling' (2015), 'Imbroglio' (2016), and 'ICARUS' (2016).

Tobias was born into a creatively oriented family. His Dad is a singer/entertainer and his Mom is an artist.

At one point, he even tried out for the Kansas City Royals and the Cincinnati Reds, but ultimately ended up following his other burning passion, theatre, art, film, and television. Jason holds a B.F.A in Theatre Studies and Art & Technology from Youngstown State University and the Art Institute of Pittsburgh.

Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on MovieCove; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their MovieCove titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
