BIG SUCCESS

At the age of 16, Jason Dolley already has a resume that could make actors twice his age shake in their boots. Let's see...Impressive list of co-stars, including Sarah Michelle Gellar, Kevin Bacon, and Brendan Frasier? Check. A Young Artist Award for Best Performance in a TV series? Check. Starring role in a Disney Channel original movie? Double-check. (He's already got two under his belt.)Over-achiever, teen heartthrob, breakout actor, Jason Dolley is all of these things. He started on the road to acting when he performed the Abbott and Costello routine, "Who's on First?" with his brother in a school talent show. When he was 11, he scored the lead role in the short film Chasing Daylight, which earned him a nomination for the Young Artist Award, of Best Performance in a Short Film.In 2004, he landed a role in Mel Gibson's ABC comedy series Complete Savages, which is how he won his award for Best Performance in a TV series. On the big screen, he's appeared in Saving Shiloh and The Air I Breathe, which is how he found himself among the impressive aforementioned list of co-stars. Jason also happens to maintain a consistent 4.0 GPA and represents his school in Spelling Bees, Math Olympics, and Speech Meets. How's that for overachieving?
