A native of Toronto, Jason Cadieux's first acting experience was as the lead in a local theatrical production of Romeo & Juliet. Cadieux' subsequent theatrical credits include roles in the plays Gulag and Poor Superman.

On television, Cadieux was featured in the NBC movie What Kind of Mother Are You? with Mel Harris and Mission Genesis co-star Sara Sahr, although he had no scenes with her. He also worked with Lindsey Wagner in the CBS movie Sins of Silence. Cadieux also starred in the Canadian soap opera Family Passions as a boy from the town's most prominent family who is accused of a crime he didn't commit.

In 1996, Cadieux co-starred in the feature film Lilies, for which he was honored with a nomination for a Genie award in the Best Actor in a Leading Role category. The film won a Genie for Best Picture. Earlier he co-starred in the films Joe's So Mean to Josephine, and Iron Eagles IV, with Louis Gossett, Jr.

About his character, Cadieux says, "everything 'Bren' says and does is very specific. There's an economy of movement, nothing is wasted. He's a very functional person, every action has meaning."

Jason's other theatrical credits include Steel Kiss, New World, and the title role in Oedipus.

I'm not completely sure, but I think he also stars as Billy in High Life. This is either still running or has just finished. The reason I'm not sure is because I found the credits page for High Life and his name was listed first, but I didn't bother to explore the rest of the site to find out if it was still on, and I didn't bookmark it either. I'm guessing it's at the Metro Toronto Centre, and the bottom of the page says that you can order tickets by calling the MTC Patron's Service at (204) 942-653.

Film/Theatrical Reviews

I didn't realize how much Jason has actually done until I did a search on him--I flipped through pages and pages full of reviews for his plays and especially the film he got a Genie nomination for, Lilies. It would take hours to find every review and link to all of them--but this is a second-level page, so you should already know that I'm going to try. =D
