Jaason Simmons, Tasmanian-born actor best known for his breakout role in the original Baywatch and cult favourite Sharknado, opens up about his Hollywood journey, how he changed his Australian accent to break into the U.S. industry, and the unexpected challenges he faced along the way.

He shares how acting helped him overcome being hyper-shy and hyper-sensitive, giving him the tools to communicate and connect. We dive into his childhood in Tasmania, being raised by his mum and grandmothers after his father passed away, and how being bullied helped shape the person he is today.

But just when we think we’re running the interview… Jaason flips the script and starts grilling us about podcasting, radio, and more!
