Jason Kravits began his career in Washington, DC, at the tender age of 13, playing the pivotal role of Lolo in the highly acclaimed PBS series Powerhouse in 1982.
After graduating from the University of Maryland, he transitioned to the Washington, DC, theater community, where he established himself as a prominent figure at esteemed institutions such as the Round House Theater, the Shakespeare Theater, and the Woolly Mammoth Theater Company, of which he remains a member to this day.
Upon relocating to New York City, Jason became an integral part of the writer-performer collective known as Rumble in the Red Room, where he collaborated with fellow writer-performer Joel Jones to develop the material for "Making Faces," which would later go on to win the prestigious Best Sketch Show award at the 1999 U.S. Comedy Festival in Aspen, Colorado.
This impressive achievement prompted him to make the move to Los Angeles, where he landed a guest-star spot on David Kelley's The Practice in 1997. His role would eventually evolve, and by the beginning of the fifth season, his character, A.D.A Richard Bay, had become a regular fixture on the show.
After several more years of prolific work in television and film, Jason would ultimately return to New York, although he continued to be active on both coasts as both an actor and a writer. Alongside his ongoing work in TV and film, he has also appeared on the Broadway stage in productions such as "Relatively Speaking," "The Drowsy Chaperone," and "Sly Fox."
Moreover, his series of short films about fatherhood, "Lords of the Playground," was recently in development with CBS.
Jason Kravits is perhaps most renowned for his work on television dramas such as "The Practice" and the Law & Order franchises. He has, however, also found significant success in comedy, from his award-winning original sketch show "Making Faces" to notable roles on Everybody Loves Raymond and Curb Your Enthusiasm.
As of fall 2011, he appeared on Broadway in "Relatively Speaking," an evening of one-act plays by Ethan Coen, Elaine May, and Woody Allen.
