Up and coming American actor, Jason Genao, is currently taking the world by storm. Raised in Jersey City, New Jersey, Genao knew he wanted to be an actor since he was nine years old. As a kid, he loved watching movies and reciting the lines alongside the actors and actresses on screen. After a few auditions, Jason booked a guest role on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. His success continued and landed a role on Netflix's The Get Down as Napoleon. Genao has since starred in the film Logan and the CBS show God Friended Me. Since 2018, Jason stars as Ruby Martniez in Netflix's On My Block. He plays a math genius who often acts as the voice of reason in the group. He is also the face of the 2019 DoSomething.org campaign, Ride & Seek, which advocates for people to buckle up and stay safe while driving on the road.
