Jason Beghe stars in "The Next Three Days" as Detective Quinn. The role marks his second time working with writer and director Paul Haggis.

Jason Beghe was born and raised in New York City where he attended Collegiate School. He is the youngest of four children. His sister Francesca is a singer/songwriter whose song "Trust in Me" was performed by Joe Cocker on the top-grossing soundtrack CD of "The Bodyguard." His father Renato Beghe was nominated by President George H.W. Bush to be Judge of the U.S. Tax Court where he still sits as an associate justice. Jason's first job was at fifteen as a doorman in the building where he lived with his family. He was eventually fired for being consistently late.

After completing two years at Pomona College, no one was more surprised than Jason when he was offered a modeling job in Venice, Italy after being "discovered" by renowned fashion photographer Bruce Weber. Jason ended up living mostly in Milan and Paris for the next three years where he became one of the top male models in Europe after shooting a 50-page advertising spread in Uomo Vogue as "The Armani Man." Because of his unique approach to his work, Jason became widely known as "piccolo actore" (the little actor) in the Italian fashion industry and was often encouraged to pursue acting as a career.

Jason returned to New York in 1983 and joined an acting class taught by respected director and coach Wynn Handman and within months he signed with ICM and secured his first role as Cupcake opposite Susan Sarandon and Judith Ivey in Frank Perry's "Compromising Positions." Next, Jason was offered a role in Los Angeles opposite Alec Baldwin in the Gore Vidal mini-series "Dress Grey." Jason stayed in Los Angles for that pilot season and won the part of quarterback Tom Yinessa in the HBO series "First and Ten" opposite O.J. Simpson and Delta Burke. He was on the show for three seasons and has consistently worked in film and television ever since including notable performances as the lead in George Romero's "Monkey Shines," Ridley Scott's "Thelma and Louise" and "G.I. Jane," and more recently, opposite his old friend David Duchovny in an arc on the Showtime series "Californication."

Jason's wife Angie is a dog trainer and president of The Family Dog Rescue. They live on a ranch in Malibu with their two sons Bix and Bear, along with assorted horses, dogs, chickens and bunnies.

I wrote the sentence, "Monkeyshines and shenanigans ensue," and couldn't help but think of that #JasonBeghe movie.
