Movies with Jason Reitman

Jason Reitman may be best known as a acclaimed director behind films like Juno and Up in the Air, but he's also left his mark as a versatile and insightful actor. While his directing work has earned him Oscar nominations, Reitman's onscreen performances demonstrate his keen eye for character and a dry, sardonic wit that elevates even the most minor roles. Whether playing a cynical political consultant in Thank You for Smoking or a bumbling but well-meaning father in Kindergarten Cop, Reitman brings a naturalistic, everyman quality to his performances. He often portrays flawed, complicated characters, finding the humanity in figures who could easily become caricatures. Reitman's acting work also reveals his deep reverence for cinema history, with memorable turns in meta-textual projects like the virtual Princess Bride reunion and the documentary Don't You Forget About Me. As the son of legendary director Ivan Reitman, Jason has cinema in his blood. But he's carved out his own distinct path, emerging as a distinctive voice both behind and in front of the camera. With a knack for blending humor and pathos, Reitman has established himself as one of the most compelling and multifaceted talents in modern American film.
