Jason Caceres was born to a loving Cuban-American family in South Florida. He is the younger of two children. Growing up, he had the opportunity to be involved with the Boy Scouts of America. It was here where he learned valuable skills such as horseback riding, camping, and archery. He later went on to compete with his High School Varsity teams in Swimming and Water Polo, eventually placing in the Florida Swimming Pool Association Competition. Jason was artistically inclined from an early age. He became a published author at the age of fifteen when published in the “Anthology of Poetry by Young Americans” for two years in a row. He has also been very fortunate to have had his artwork displayed at local museums in Miami.
He attributes most of his early success to openly gay singer/songwriter Steve Grand who gave Jason his first leading role opportunity in music video “Back to California.”

However, for those who have known Jason, they realized that he is a very talented and ambitious young actor determined to continually improve his acting craft and make a difference.
“It does not surprise me in the least that Jason is moving ahead with his screen career,” said Phillip M. Church (External Engagement, Department of Theatre, FIU College of Architecture + the Arts). “He was dedicated to this objective from the very beginning with his work in ‘Acting/Directing for TV/Film’ and with the independent video projects he created while at FIU. Someone with Jason’s flare for entrepreneurial initiative is certain to get ahead in the world. It is great to see him being recognized for his tenacity and talent.”
